Current research into power dynamics reveals significant volatility. One of the key questions being explored is whether any advanced technologies, potentially superior to human capabilities, already exist among us. If so, could they be adapted for human use, and could these technologies enable us to inhabit new environments?
Billions of rupees are being invested in this research, but the focus often seems to be on the financial cost rather than the outcome. Consider a simple example: we can teach a person to drive because they have studied the vehicle and its components in detail. However, if that same person is asked to fly an aircraft, they would fail without the necessary knowledge, as their expertise is limited to driving. This illustrates a broader truth: human knowledge, gained through labor, is often confined to specific areas and can only be applied within those limits.
Even if humans were able to acquire new technologies or discover habitable planets or satellites, the question remains whether we could truly adapt to such environments. Furthermore, we must acknowledge that humans are already responsible for many environmental issues, including climate change, which threatens future generations. Our actions today may lead to our eventual downfall.
Those who seek to escape Earth after causing its destruction through neglect are unlikely to find refuge in new worlds. The relentless pursuit of power, without taking urgent steps to address climate change, is short-sighted. Unfortunately, much of the current discourse surrounding these futuristic technologies centers on financial costs rather than long-term consequences. This approach does not bode well for humanity’s future.
