00:00How many years will you take to make that mobile phone?
00:04We have received almost for free something so precious
00:08and that's the gift of science.
00:10But we don't respect science.
00:12That mobile phone comes from a certain sophistication of mind.
00:16It is a product of intelligence.
00:18But we respect neither sophistication nor intelligence.
00:22So a very sophisticated thing has been given to a rather crude fellow.
00:27And what does he do?
00:28Doomscroll.
00:30A scientist is not going to do that.
00:32The fellow who makes the chip is not going to do that.
00:36Because he is busy with inventing, obviously.
00:40But the fellow who gets it almost for free
00:43will be watching all kinds of rubbish on the phone
00:46and continuously for hours on end.
00:49We live in a peculiar state.
00:52We are beasts within but have been gifted
00:55with greatly sophisticated technology.
