I cannot affirmatively assert whether our ability to reason and create was given or acquired. This ability came from our delicate and complicated making, which has been existent from the ancient time. We are an organically synthesized organisms, with three parts: body, mind, and spirit. The intersection of these three parts is our soul that essentially is who we are. At that time, the tools used were rudimentary, our external strength was weak, and our surrounding was dangerous. However, with our limitation and physical suffering, our mind was closer to our body; our spirit was close to mind. Therefore, people were living with purposes: (1) in the inward direction, to relieve the pain through religious beliefs, and (2) in the outward directions, simply improve the tools and condition. Although people were so focused on those two directions, only playful and “purposeless” Greeks could found modern sciences. These exciting stuff eventually propelled our advances in technologies.

These technologies are mainly extensions of physical body. They are not exciting to me at all. If married with humanities, they are doing good to us. Married with greed and ignorance, they harm us and our planet. I cannot praise them as I do not know if they have done more good than bad. More importantly, modern technologies are not making us smarter, or to say, we could be way wiser if technologies are used more properly and if we could have reinvented our education systems. We are not liberating us. We are increasingly enslaving our fellow citizens. They are also further separating our body, our mind, and our spirit. People are not happy. Slaves cannot be happy.
Now what comes are the extension of our brain: computer, internet, then AI, then data science. I totally disagree with the word data science. This is not science. They are producing less happier people., more slaves. Not to mention, they are hacking our humanity.
The danger ahead. Be happy if you can!
