If our achievements in science are not that great, then our understanding of science itself - its nature, its limits and meaning - is EVEN LESS. We are used to working in a narrow field of science and almost NEVER CONSIDER knowledge AS A WHOLE. We do not ask questions - we answer those already formulated. We DO NOT DESIGN - we implement. Nowadays we are builders, but NOT ARCHITECTS.

I wrote this article at the beginning of 2016. But in the events happening today, in my opinion, what was stated then is more relevant now. And so it should be. Then, we did NOT QUITE correctly understand the processes that were gaining strength and that brought us to the present times, having made us exactly what WE ARE now. I will add to what was written from the position of today, in my opinion, what is relevant today and explains a lot.

According to the Eastern calendar, 2024 is the Year of the Green Wooden Dragon. It is believed to be PROSPEROUS and HAPPY, and a good time for starting NEW VENTURES and projects. We are entering an unusual, engaging, and eventful year. However, we do not live solely by the Eastern calendar. Together with you, we live with an understanding of what is happening today, and based on our knowledge, we foresee what lies ahead for us.

Nowadays we live in the society that has neither purpose, nor idea. And without them, any society is NOT JUST dying, it is becoming demoralized. I am sure that in such a situation, the best minds should focus not on discussing the ongoing, but on the reason that generates these events. If it drips from the ceiling, you have to fight with the hole in the roof, not with the puddle on the floor. Naturally, everyone will answer all the life questions put to him in one way or another. Whether he comprehends it or not is the second question. The main thing is that he will definitely live his life in one direction or another. If he chooses the direction himself, he is a Person.

Planes are crashing... People are dying... All platforms are trumpeting about odiousness and heroism in various conjectures and interpretations. The “mighty of this world” speak out, with their explanations aggravating the confusion in understanding the ongoing, but for some reason no one asks the question - why is this happening? What is the basis of all this? Why do people behave the way they do and not otherwise and do not even think about it? There are many who have VERY CONTRADICTORY feelings, most often critical, and they have more than enough reasons, but there is NO EXPLANATION why exactly this way and not otherwise, not superficial explanations, but those based on one’s own knowledge, which is impossible without the true information.

In something you like, you exaggerate the pros and downplay the cons. And, on the contrary, you exaggerate the cons and downplay the pluses if you do not like something.

It is impossible to convince a person of what he SUBCONSCIOUSLY DENIES. This applies even to science. As Max Planck said, science develops from funeral to funeral. The bearers of the old do not give way to the new, not because they see some faults, but because they do not like it.

For more than thirty years, we have been creating certain societies, focusing on certain ideas that provoke more and more amazement over the years. But after all, no one removes them from the agenda. The idea of rebuilding the world seems to most people to be an EMPTY FANTASY, not because they consider the goal unworthy or see logical errors, but because the scale confuses them. So an ant — it will take the matter seriously only within the framework of its anthill. It WILL NOT COME UP with the idea of activities outside its home. The same way people evaluate the ongoing today with domestic, commercial ... maximum — political benefits (which is the same commerce).
