Humanity will be ruined by science and technology, but also based on modern science and technology on the development of human beings all-around distortion, which is centered on the social relations, the spiritual realm and the ethical and moral level
■Opposite side: science and technology is the strongest shield to protect human beings. We believe that the continuous improvement of science and technology will bring mankind into a more beautiful and mysterious realm
Mankind will not be ruined by science and technology, because the course of development of science and technology has proved that the devil is one foot taller than the road, and the problems brought by science and technology to mankind can be solved by the further development of science and technology itself
Wu Tien (the positive side of the first defense): First of all, there are positive and negative aspects of any thing. The benefits of science and technology do not need me to spend more words, later the other side of the defense must be spilling, but often we think to play down or even ignored is its negative impact. Unlike other things, the opposite side of technology is as sharp as a blade and as sharp as a sword, which is what we often call a double-edged sword. However, if you think that mankind has been awake to realize the existence of double-edged sword, then you are a bit too naive, when mankind time and time again proudly said that the new science and technology is the fastest possible to apply, and show how efficient we are human beings, you have ever thought, this also means that the negative effects of science and technology too late to understand, or do not want to understand, it is the beginning of the disaster, the destructive nature of science and technology is the embodiment of The destructive effects of technology are an example of the irreversibility of this trend.
Second, the uncertainty of modern technological development has turned technology into a double-edged sword, the sword of Damocles. Humanity's use of science and technology has long reached the point of impatience, the accumulation of years and years, making the negative effects of science and technology is at any time in the global outbreak, which is the deeper crisis of the destructive trend of science and technology.
Third, the high degree of dependence on science and technology makes the sword of Damocles ready to move. Humans have a high degree of trust in science and technology and subjective dependence on the sword can be arbitrary power, one touch, this third trend leads directly to the technology is the power to destroy mankind, when mankind for the science and technology at the same time, please do not forget, science and technology can also be the same to the evil heart with the devilish power.
Zheng Wei (first defense): First of all, we would like to point out that the negative effects of technology can not be blamed on technology, on the contrary, it is precisely the human failure to scientifically understand the world as a whole, as well as irrational use of science and technology caused by the evil consequences.
Secondly, the other side overestimates the difficulties that science and technology have brought to mankind, but underestimates mankind's ability to solve these difficulties. The fact that we can't solve the problems of science and technology doesn't mean that we can't solve them in the future. We believe that mankind will not be ruined by science and technology, because the course of scientific and technological development has proved that the devil is one foot taller, the road is ten feet taller, and the difficulties brought by science and technology to mankind can be solved by the further development of science and technology itself. 70's scientists used to predict that mankind will face an energy crisis in the beginning of the 21st century due to the over-consumption of natural resources by the products of science and technology, and now, the development of energy and the development of micro-solar energy, which makes this panic disappears. have wiped out this fear.
Thirdly, with science and technology in the hands of mankind, mankind can create a scientific precautionary system by means of ethical and legal norms, so that the negative impacts of individual technological inventions can be restrained throughout the system.
Jane Anjun (second defense): The other side says that human beings have ethics and laws, but can ethics and laws control science and technology? Scientists are replicating human beings on the high seas, but moral laws can't control them. We believe that mankind will be destroyed by science and technology, but also based on the fact that modern science and technology have distorted the development of mankind in all aspects, which is centered on the three levels of social relations, spirituality, and ethics and morality. First of all, the development trend of science and technology has the potential power to destroy the social life of human beings. Secondly, the destructive power of science and technology is also manifested in its constant impact on and destruction of human life, which is centrally manifested in the two new favorites of human science and technology, the Internet and genetic technology. The warriors of the Internet have long declared that they want to turn the network into a kind of life. However, when the virtual replaces the real, the existence of human beings as a society also disappears, as the saying goes, if the skin does not exist, the hair will not be attached to it? Look at genetic technology, life science and technology to treat diseases, but on the other hand is interfering with nature, to create more perfect human beings, but genetically modified perfect human beings are human beings or high-tech products? Today's genetic technology on the human inner nature of the change more direct impact on the last line of defense of the human spiritual home - ethics and morality, science and technology on the full range of distortion of human society, is destroying the foundation of our society and the spiritual world.
Zhang Wenbo (the second defense): Just now the other side greatly exaggerated the negative impact of science and technology on human beings, although we can't completely exclude the possibility that high-tech will bring negative impact on human beings, but any scientific and technological achievements may have both advantages and disadvantages, and the impact is not equal to the destruction.
First of all, technology is the driving force behind human progress.
Secondly, if there is no science and technology, human beings would have died out long ago. Science and technology is the strongest shield to protect mankind, we believe that the continuous improvement of science and technology will bring mankind into a more beautiful and mysterious realm, so we believe that mankind will not be destroyed by science and technology.
Fu Xin (third defense): Just now the other side made two mistakes: First, the other side really talked about the benefits of science and technology, but the benefits of science and technology, we do not deny ah, just the other side of the defense you really think that the water can carry the boat, the water must not be able to overthrow the boat? Secondly, the other side said that human beings are rational, but rationality does not mean that they will not perish, and I will argue our proposition from the trend of the development of modern science and technology.
First, the development of science and technology is moving from individual trend to national and social trend. The individual's pursuit of and dependence on technological life is not a big problem, but the problem is that this pursuit and dependence is turning into a national and social trend in the form of a unique value, and science and technology have turned into the only right direction in the world, and all the ideas that go against it have to make way for it.
Secondly, the destructive trend of science and technology is highlighted by the fact that science and technology are deified while nature is instrumentalized. It is science and technology that makes human beings no longer feel that they are a part of nature, and it is science and technology that makes human beings feel that they hold a new God in their hands while they keep instrumentalizing nature. However, when the natural order is broken, may I ask where mankind will stand?
Jixing (the third defense): Just now the other side of the defense to blame all the mistakes on science and technology, is one-sided, is not a true understanding of the relationship between science and technology and human beings, science and technology is not water, human beings can control science and technology. The development of anything has its negative side.
In the following, I will start from a realistic point of view to explain our point of view. First, the development of new and high technology so that human beings have been unexpected gains, China News Network news, robots for the first time in China to assist in minimally invasive surgery; Nature magazine reported that the cell size of a nano-cow was finally born. These kinds of achievements brought to us by science and technology have pushed mankind to a more prosperous starting point.
Second, with the current high-tech to solve our existing problems, there is no doubt that many problems will be solved with the continuous development of science and technology, as small as garbage is no longer polluting the environment, as large as the energy crisis is no longer worrying.
Third, the level of scientific and technological development of mankind in a number of years, I believe that all of us here can not imagine, like the Stone Age is drilling wood to get fire, they can not possibly imagine, now our world has a gas and electricity. Mankind will not be ruined by technology, on the contrary science will only make mankind more and more advanced.
Crossfire
■Positive side: look at today's genetic technology, has been in the impact of ethics and morality of the last line of defense of the spiritual home of mankind, what do you do?
■Opposite side: human beings can control science and technology, human beings will not be destroyed by science and technology
Chen Xiaohuan: May I ask the other side of the debate, today talk about "will" is not to talk about the trend?
Wang Qingmei: Of course we are talking about the trend, and the trend we are talking about is based on the history and reality, to find our basis to talk about the future.
Jane Anjun: Thank you for agreeing with our point of view, talking about the future of course, we have to look at the trend, based on the reality, the trend of judgment, the destructive trend of science and technology, the other side of the defense how to not see.
Jixing: But the other side of the defense is to ignore the history, we have to prove that technology will not destroy mankind from the aspect of history.
Fu Xin: Is that called a trend? The other side is called looking at history and fantasizing about the future.
Zheng Wei: the other side of the defense, our side at least still put our inference based on history, while the other side of the defense to make speculation, no wonder the other side of the other side of the defense with this unscientific method to arrive at this unscientific conclusions.
Wu Tian: Our side is obviously based on reality to see the trend, why can't the other apologists see it? May I ask today's technology are independently developed, this is still not a destructive trend?
Wang Qingmei: I would like to ask the other apologist, you want to do stock market assessment, can you not look at the past historical data?
Chen Xiaohuan: The other side of the debate, today we are constantly told how good technology is, but is it not possible for good and bad to coexist? Can't good and bad coexist and destroy?
Zheng Wei: We don't deny that the good and the bad can co-exist, but what we believe is that human beings can control technology, and human beings won't be destroyed by technology.
Jian Anjun: If the other side really thinks that human beings can control technology, please tell us clearly how.
Wang Qingmei: The other side has been listing the various negative effects brought by science and technology to people, and has been still talking about the dangers of gene technology, completely ignoring the great contribution made by gene technology to human beings, if gene technology is useless, then why did the National Institute of Education in Singapore spend ten years to develop the world's first light-emitting "Hooch Flower"? Please provide an explanation.
Chen Xiaohuan: We are not denying the benefits of technology ah, but I hug you at the same time, I can not stab you? Is there a contradiction between me hugging you and me stabbing you?
Zheng Wei: So far, the other side has been avoiding our question, if mankind will be destroyed by technology, does the other side think that the Singaporean government's five-year plan on science and technology is accelerating this destruction?
Jian Anjun: There is no contradiction between the implementation of the science program and the fact that mankind will be destroyed by science and technology, we are standing here today, we are trying to understand the trend, the other side of the debate has not yet seen the trend, so why should we talk about the trend after the problem?
Wang Qingmei: The other side's opinion is that since technology is useless, should we stop developing it?
Fu Xin: the logic of the other side of the debate is really strange, on the one hand, he has not realized the existence of the problem, and on the other hand, he is asking me how to solve the problem, and can not walk before wanting to run, it is really strange ah.
Zheng Wei: we think the other side of the defense is even more strange, on the one hand, on the one hand, said that mankind will be destroyed by science and technology, on the other hand, but do not give up on science and technology, want to continue to develop science and technology, this is not a contradiction, is not it?
Wu Tian: It's not that we're contradicting ourselves, it's because people have to bow down under the trend, look at today's genetic technology, it's already impacting ethics and morality, which is the last line of defense of the spiritual home of mankind, what do you do?
Wang Qingmei: I would like to ask the other side, with scientific literacy of the four debaters, since the technology will destroy mankind, then why do we still have to study so hard to learn about science and technology?
Summary
■Positive side: technology brings convenience to mankind and at the same time sows the seeds of destruction
■Opposite side: we have to pursue the truth, but we must not take individual phenomena as universal, and it is also not possible to look at the world through the eye of a needle
WANG QINGMEI (Opposite side of the four debaters): I would like to point out that the other side of the debaters have made three serious mistakes: first, to point First, to generalize by point. The negative effects of science and technology have been emphasized one-sidedly and exaggerated indefinitely.
Secondly, the second mistake is to take the words out of context, asserting that science and technology will destroy mankind because there are some problems in the development of science and technology, and completely ignoring the role of humanism and ethics in restraining and guiding science and technology.
Thirdly, the other side is looking at things from a stagnant point of view, only pointing out the existing problems of science and technology, while our side is pointing out the innovative nature of science and technology from a developmental point of view, and modern science and technology bring us ever-changing and newer and faster solutions to problems.
The following is a summary of our point of view: First, human beings are rational, otherwise there would not be the birth of science and technology, we have to pursue the truth, but we must not take individual phenomena as universal, and it is impossible to see the world from the eye of a needle.
Secondly, science and technology are controllable, and on this point, our side has cited a large number of facts. What we want to emphasize here is that the problems that currently exist can be made completely controllable through human self-discipline and the development of science and technology, and that under the double insurance of human rationality and the development of science and technology, mankind will not be ruined by science and technology.
Chen Xiaohuan (the fourth defense): First of all, the other side tells us how good the future technology is, but the word "will" in today's topic is telling us to look at tomorrow from today's perspective, not from tomorrow's perspective.
Then the other side told us from the historical point of view, technology has a lot of benefits, we do not deny it, but technology has a lot of benefits can not cover up the bad side of it, the focus of today's debate is the bad side of technology is, will or will not destroy human beings, the other side of the debate again and again, the king of the right and left, the thesis bias is the other side of the debate on the topic is the second big mistake made by the other side of the debate.
Then the other side naively told us that the development of science and technology can be controlled by human beings, but what we see is that science and technology is determining the strength and status of politics, economy and even a country, and it has long been overriding all the morality and law and rationality and conscience, so what else can be done to control it?
Summarizing our point of view, first of all, science and technology in bringing convenience to mankind at the same time also sowed the seeds of destruction, now what people dare to speak of science and technology is people-oriented, is it for the service of people is called people-oriented? Secondly, technology is deified, but people are instrumentalized, everything to technology first, such examples in the world around us abound ah, technology is only a tool, but when it is deified, but when people are instrumentalized, such human beings itself is a kind of destruction. Third, science and technology is unprecedented power to dominate the fate of mankind, the independence of scientific and technological development has long exceeded the control of mankind, and in turn dominated the human race, science and technology is only a means, not the end, we only dare to recognize the existence of this destructive trend, we can then say to everyone, the road is long and far away, I will be up and down and seek.
