Stanislaw Lem deals with his own hypotheses about the improvement of humanity and old illusions about the possibilities of science. He does this highly harshly, seeing in modern mass culture primarily incompetence and ignorance. Sensational press reports, pseudo-scientific publications and increasing commercialization at the interface between discipline and the media make a false image of reality – full of simplifications and curses (with mat. Publishers).

The future is dark
Francis Fukuyama is an Americanized nipponese highly stubborn: his work announcing the end of past defends with various further articles of all means. The assumption, which was the basis for his announcements of the end of history, was to be the death of continuous and inevitable global development. However, because, in addition to communists suffering from historical materialism and supporting their alleged useful idiots, in this telekinetically understood way to the universal advancement of humanity only very uneducated and young people believed, all talk about the historically occurring progression of our planet should be wiped off with a wet sponge board. In my books, especially disputing ones, although not only specified ones, I dealt with the advancement of the cognition and efficiency of techno-derivatives, but in non-assertive works of fantastic beletrists, all ideas about happiness or happiness of humanity were eliminated, usually by intellectual experiments (Gedanken Experimente).
From the position of the 20th century, we are forced to admit that humanity will never halt in any stability. We are approaching the end of atomic frenzy, entering the phase of communications frenzy.
Humanity is eager to engage in ludicrous activities, showing expanding appetites for various atrocities, and technology is widely utilized with expanding fitness as a tool to break in where no 1 asked it. From the immensity of books depicting the lives of the top scholars, I mostly learned that they were utilized as train crews, frequently poorly paid, alternatively they willingly submitted to the chief politicians of their time, partially motivated by ambition, and partially tempted simply by the opportunities of utilizing their superior abilities, which regularly, shortly after their completion, degenerated, as a consequence of the collisional work of powerful decision makers, in the marshes, or another graves. If they brought good to the world, then the powers they did not control would usually turn them into evil. As a 20-year-old or 40-year-old, I was motivated and driven by pragmatic optimism, mostly falsely thought of it for babbling and rambling, that's for my technocratic birth. There is now a sense of triumph in biology due to the decoding of the nucleotide composition of 1 of the first chromosomes of the human genome. This corresponds about to the designation and division of individual elements, in the form of individual notes, the first page of Beethoven's 9th Symphony. Like specified decryptors, for now, we can barely begin anything with the obtained ant of data. I am not saying that we have come across the way to the optimal human self-evolution of a concrete wall, but only to a informing that this undertaking will so be very difficult, because, first of all, it is not possible to make any experiments on the hereditary human substance at the moment, and second, due to the fact that capital is not and cannot be curious in the highly distant consequences of processes which it would gotta support.

From these writings of the top 20th century scholars, I learned with what insolence and brazenness they were utilized by politicians. There must be a distant time erstwhile candidates for the highest positions of any country will be guided to examination filters, so that mentality is multilaterally mediocre without all mercy to be directed to public works. In this, I avoided the socio-political problem of the russian protectorate in Poland during the full period of time from censorship and blind to the reality of stupidity. In archaic, and besides ongoing due to inertia, harsh corsets of outdated laws, laws, religion we decision not like 1 fictional creation called humanity, but alternatively as a multisectoral string of caterpillar segments. The number of unknowns combined as a veil of the future ways of mankind increases over time. Freedom does not mean taking advantage of the chance to meet the legitimate needs of the world, due to the fact that needs are being told and pushed in by frequently anonymous groups of large investors of global capital.
However, in short moments of democratic or pseudo-democratic elections vox populi est vox Dei, however, it is more common to check the curd vulgarus vult decipi — ergo decipiatur.
Direct democracy, already enabled by electronics, would surely be more unfortunate than indirect democracy, which I will possibly explain on the basis of the following dichotom. Basically, people endure from either shortsighted stupidity or farsightedness.
I am aware of the bitterness of the above recognition, which seems to me to be something of a contradic intent of justice to our world. past was not deprived of periods of average stability, which were frequently not so much the consequence of the gloating blissful societies, but alternatively of the adaptation to the Procrust bed of existing conditions. Our species dominated the planet so rapidly and so rapidly on a geological scale that it already threatens the biosphere and climate balance.
