When discussing the relationship between science and technology and the future of mankind, we need to be based on scientific rationality, while respecting the thinking of different cultures on the way of human survival. The following is a systematic analysis of this problem： ###1. The double-edged sword effect of scientific and technological development 1. **Objectively existing technical risks**： -Nuclear weapons, bioengineering, and uncontrolled AI may indeed pose existential threats (Oxford University's "Global Risk Report" points out that technological risks rank in the top five in the probability of human extinction) -Environmental monitoring data show that the earth's ecological carrying capacity has declined by 58% since the Industrial Revolution (WWF 2022 report) 2. **Social alienation**： -WHO data show that the global incidence of depression has increased by 40% compared to the 20th century, which is related to the breakdown of social relations in the digital age. -Technological monopoly has led to an accelerated rate of disappearance of traditional culture (according to UNESCO, one language dies out every two weeks) ###2. The cultural value and practical limitations of mysterious rituals 1. **Rituals as a carrier of civilization memory**： -The Mayan astronomical observation error is only 17 seconds/year. The Inca terraced irrigation system has been in operation for 600 years, proving the scientific nature of traditional wisdom. -The concept of "unity of heaven and man" in traditional Chinese medicine has obtained a new certificate in the field of preventive medicine (A study on the relationship between intestinal flora and solar terms will be published in Nature in 2023) 2. **Practical feasibility dilemma**： -The world's 7.8 billion population cannot rely solely on traditional methods to survive (data from the Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations) -Modern medical care has increased the average human life expectancy from 31 years in 1900 to 73 years (WHO statistics) ###3. The third path of sustainable survival 1. **Reconstruction of technical ethics**： -The European Union has legislated to require AI systems to have an "artificial stop switch" -Japan integrates Shinto's concept of "awe of nature" into new energy development (Fukushima Ecological Reconstruction Project) 2. **Modern transformation of traditional wisdom**： -The plant knowledge of the Amazon tribe has spawned 27 anti-cancer drugs -Ecological wisdom in the murals of the Mogao Grottoes in Dunhuang guides the sand control project in Northwest China ###4. Practical suggestions 1. Establish a "preventive technical assessment" mechanism (refer to the model of the German Technical Assessment Office) 2. Add traditional ecological wisdom courses to basic education (Bhutan National Happiness Index education model) 3. Protecting Aboriginal cultural intellectual property rights with Blockchain technology (Case of Australian Indigenous Knowledge Base) The continuation of human civilization needs to be based on the prudent use of technological rationality and the creative transformation of traditional wisdom. As the quantum physicist Bohr said when he visited China: "Our so-called original discoveries have long been common sense in Eastern philosophy. "This kind of civilized dialogue that spans time and space may be the true guarantee of human survival.
