54. Modern civilizational crisis
In the conditions of the collapse of the Marxist-Leninist worldview, worldview concepts of various kinds, primarily religious ones, poured into the resulting "empty" spiritual space. Their range is extremely wide - from Catholicism and Protestantism to Scientology and Dianetics. A person who is inexperienced in worldview is sometimes lost in this abundance of "spiritual food", is unable to clearly realize the deep social and cultural differences that exist even between individual Christian denominations.
When new generations grow up in the bosom of one church or another, the question of worldview choice is resolved, as it were, by itself. Those for whom religiosity becomes the norm of moral life perceive the canons and cults of religion traditional for a given society, simply under the influence of upbringing and education. Those who are inherent in non-religious morality, not accepting the relevant canons and cults, nevertheless, by the system of education and upbringing, are usually attached to those moral feelings, concepts and values that are inherent in the culture of a given society and are expressed in a specific religious form for it. When there are several religions in a society, as, for example, in China or Russia, and then the interaction of the corresponding religions also creates a certain moral atmosphere, which is perceived by the non-religious part of the population, which is thus included in the integral cultural context of a given country, group of countries, civilization.
The peculiarity of the current historical conditions is such that everyone faces a fairly wide range of different possibilities, and any choice is his and only his right. Everyone is free to make his own spiritual choice, but everyone must fully realize the significance and responsibility of this choice.
However, the choice facing today not an individual, but the whole of humanity, is essentially different - after all, the crisis experienced by our country is only a concentrated expression of a global, general civilizational crisis. And this crisis, in turn, is the result of the crisis of the leading Western civilization in the modern world.
Meanwhile, the values that led to this result are the values of Western civilization based on the notorious "Protestant ethic" that is now being so aggressively imposed on the Russian people.
Anxiety for the future has forced Western humanists to put forward a number of concepts that quickly replace each other - from the idea of "zero growth", "catch-up development" and further, up to the current benchmark - "sustainable development".

Latest news of science and technology, new electronics:
The existence of an entropy rule for quantum entanglement has been proven
09.05.2024
Quantum mechanics continues to amaze us with its mysterious phenomena and unexpected discoveries. Recently, Bartosz Regula from the RIKEN Center for Quantum Computing and Ludovico Lamy from the University of Amsterdam presented a new discovery that concerns quantum entanglement and its relation to entropy. Quantum entanglement plays an important role in modern quantum information science and technology. However, the complexity of its structure makes understanding and managing it challenging. Regulus and Lamy's discovery shows that quantum entanglement follows an entropy rule similar to that for classical systems. This discovery opens new perspectives in the field of quantum information science and technology, deepening our understanding of quantum entanglement and its connection to thermodynamics. The results of the study indicate the possibility of reversibility of entanglement transformations, which could greatly simplify their use in various quantum technologies. Opening a new rule ... >>

Energy from space for Starship
08.05.2024
Producing solar energy in space is becoming more feasible with the advent of new technologies and the development of space programs. The head of the startup Virtus Solis shared his vision of using SpaceX's Starship to create orbital power plants capable of powering the Earth. Startup Virtus Solis has unveiled an ambitious project to create orbital power plants using SpaceX's Starship. This idea could significantly change the field of solar energy production, making it more accessible and cheaper. The core of the startup's plan is to reduce the cost of launching satellites into space using Starship. This technological breakthrough is expected to make solar energy production in space more competitive with traditional energy sources. Virtual Solis plans to build large photovoltaic panels in orbit, using Starship to deliver the necessary equipment. However, one of the key challenges ... >>
| Random news from the Archive Smart ring from Samsung
30.12.2015
Application #20150370226, filed last June, appeared in the US Patent Office (USPTO) database. It describes a smart ring - an appropriately shaped electronic device designed to control another electronic device, such as a smartphone, tablet or smart TV. In addition, the smart ring can be used as part of a home automation system.
The possibilities of the ring are ensured by the fact that sensors are built into it, allowing you to judge its position. As conceived by the inventors, control using the ring looks like this: the ring leans against the screen of the device and begins to play the role of a control wheel, allowing you to select items on the on-screen menu.
Menu items are customizable. In particular, other devices that the ring can control can be added to them.
