Chapter 17: Life Perspective

"Technology also inevitably has its benefits and drawbacks. Still, when combined with profit motives, capital tycoons use the education system they set up to cultivate experts and professors who support their interests or directly buy their support (nowadays, it''s like paying experts to promote their agendas publicly). They exaggerate the benefits of technology to an unlimited extent and downplay its disadvantages, making people believe that there are almost no downsides. "

“科技也必然存在有利的一面和不利的一面，只是科技与盈利结合起来以后，资本财阀就会通过他们设定的教育体系培养认同自己的专家教授，或者直接收买专家（现在不都是花钱请专家教授公开宣传怎么怎么好嘛），无限地夸大科技的有利，无限的弱小不利，最后大家都以为几乎无不利。”

"Western philosophical contradictions only emerged a few hundred years ago! China''s Yin-Yang doctrine was mentioned long before that, stating that the balance of Yin and Yang is temporary. But their imbalance is expected, leading to continuous development and changes in things, including prosperity, decline, sickness, and death, a
