The destruction of mankind by science and technology is also based on the all-round distortion of human development by modern science and technology, which is concentrated in three aspects: social relations, spiritual field and ethics.
On the contrary: technology is the strongest shield to protect mankind. We believe that the continuous progress of technology will surely bring mankind into a more beautiful and mysterious realm.
Mankind will not be destroyed by science and technology, because the development of science and technology has proved that the magic height is one foot and the Tao height is ten feet. The problems brought by science and technology to mankind can be solved through the further development of science and technology itself.
Wu Tian (positive statement): First of all, everything has two sides. I don't need to waste my breath on the benefits of technology. Later, other debaters will talk a lot. However, we often think that what is diluted or even ignored is its negative impact. Different from other things, the opposite 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 human beings have clearly realized the existence of double-edged swords, then you are somewhat naive. When humans proudly say time and time again that new technologies are being applied at the fastest speed, which shows how efficient we are, have you ever thought that it also means that it is too late to understand the negative effects of technology, or you don't want to know at all? The destruction of science and technology reflects an irreversible trend, which is the beginning of disaster.
Second, the uncertainty of the development of modern science and technology makes the double-edged sword of science and technology become the sword of Damocles. Humans have long been impatient with the use of science and technology. After years of accumulation, the negative effects of science and technology break out on a global scale at any time, which is a deeper crisis of the destructive trend of science and technology.
Third, the high dependence on science and technology makes the sword of Damocles ready to move. The subjective dependence caused by human's high trust in science and technology makes the sword wield its power at will, which directly leads to the power of science and technology to destroy human beings. When human beings sing a song of triumph for science and technology, please don't forget that science and technology can also give evil spirits the power of the devil.
Kevin·Z (Objection): First of all, we should point out that the negative effects of science and technology cannot be attributed to science and technology. On the contrary, it is the evil result of mankind's failure to scientifically understand the world as a whole and unreasonable use of science and technology.
Second, the debater overestimated the difficulties brought by science and technology, but underestimated the ability of human beings to solve these difficulties. Scientific and technological problems that cannot be solved at present do not mean that they cannot be solved in the future. We believe that mankind will not be destroyed by science and technology, because the course of scientific and technological development has proved that the magic height is one foot and the Tao height is one foot, and the problems brought by science and technology to mankind can be solved through the further development of science and technology itself. In 1970s, scientists predicted that mankind would face an energy crisis at the beginning of 2 1 century due to the excessive consumption of natural resources by scientific and technological products. Now with the development of energy and micro solar energy, this panic has disappeared.
Third, science and technology are in the hands of human beings, who can create a scientific prevention system through ethics and legal norms, so that the negative effects brought by individual technological inventions can be restricted in the whole system.
Jane (debating): Another debater said that human beings have moral laws, but can moral laws control technology? Scientists copy people on the high seas, which is beyond the control of moral law. We believe that mankind will be destroyed by science and technology, and it is also based on the all-round distortion of human development by modern science and technology, which is concentrated in three aspects: social relations, spiritual field and ethics. First of all, the development trend of science and technology may destroy human social life. Secondly, the destructive power of science and technology is also reflected in its constant impact and destruction on human life, which is concentrated in the Internet and gene technology, the two new favorites of human science and technology. The warriors of the Internet have long announced that they want to turn the Internet into a kind of life. However, when the virtual replaces the real, people's existence as a society disappears. As the saying goes, skin does not exist, how can hair be attached? Look at gene technology, life technology cures diseases, but on the other hand, it interferes with nature and creates a more perfect human being. But is the perfect genetically modified person human or a high-tech product? Today, the change of gene technology to human nature directly impacts the last line of defense of human spiritual home-ethics. The all-round distortion of human society by science and technology is destroying our social foundation and spiritual world.
Zhang Wenbo (against the debate): Just now, another debater exaggerated the negative impact of science and technology on mankind. Although we can't completely rule out the possibility that high technology will have a negative impact on human beings, any scientific and technological achievements may have advantages and disadvantages, and the impact does not mean destruction.
First of all, science and technology are the driving force of human progress.
Secondly, without science and technology, human beings would have died long ago. Science and technology are the strongest shields to protect mankind. We believe that the continuous progress 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 (three affirmative arguments): Just now the other debater made two mistakes: First, the other debater did talk about the benefits of science and technology, but we don't deny the benefits of science and technology. Is it just that the other debater really thinks that water can carry a boat and also overturn it? Second, the other debater said that human beings are rational, but rationality does not mean that they will not perish. Below I will demonstrate our proposition from the development trend of modern science and technology.
First, the development of science and technology is moving from individual trend to national trend and social trend. Personal pursuit and dependence on scientific and technological life is not a big problem. The problem is that this pursuit and dependence is becoming a national trend and social trend in a unique form of value. Science and technology have become the only correct direction in the world, and all ideas that run counter to it must make way for it.
Second, the destructive trend of science and technology is manifested in the deification of science and technology and the instrumentalization of nature. It is technology that makes people no longer feel that they are part of nature. It is science and technology that makes human beings feel that they have a new god in their hands and constantly tool nature. However, when the natural order is broken, where will mankind stand?
Ji Xing (three opposing arguments): Just now, the other debater blamed all the mistakes on science and technology, which is one-sided and does not really understand the relationship between science and technology and human beings. Technology is not water, and human beings can control it. Everything has its negative side.
Next, I will explain our views from a realistic perspective. First, the development of high technology has made mankind gain unexpected gains. According to Zhongxin. Com, the robot assisted minimally invasive surgery for the first time in China; Nature magazine reported that a cell-sized nano-cow was finally born. All these achievements brought by science and technology have pushed mankind to a more prosperous starting point.
Secondly, to solve our existing problems with current high technology, there is no doubt that with the continuous development of science and technology, many problems will be solved, from garbage to energy crisis.
Third, the level of scientific and technological development of mankind in a few years is believed to be unimaginable to all of us here. Just like the people who drilled fires in the Stone Age, they couldn't imagine. Now our world has natural gas and electricity. Human beings will not be destroyed by science and technology. On the contrary, science will only make human beings progress more and more.
see action
■ Founder: Look at today's gene technology, which has impacted the last line of defense of human spiritual home-ethics. What do you do?
■ Counterparty: Humans can control technology, and humans will not be destroyed by technology.
Chen Xiaohuan: May I ask another debater, is it a trend to talk about "Jiang" today?
Wang: Of course, we are talking about trends. The trends we are talking about are based on history and reality.
Jane An Jun: Thank you for agreeing with us. Talking about the future, of course, depends on the trend, based on reality and judged by the trend. Why can't the other debater see the devastating trend of science and technology?
Ji Xing: But the other debater just ignores history. We should prove historically that technology will not destroy mankind.
Fu Xin: Is the opponent's debater called the trend? The opponent's argument is called looking at history and imagining the future.
Kevin·Z: The other debater, we at least infer from history, but the other debater guesses out of thin air. No wonder the other debater came to this unscientific conclusion in this unscientific way.
Wu Tian: We clearly look at the trend based on reality. Why can't the other debater see it? Excuse me, today's technology has developed independently. Isn't this a destructive trend?
Wang: I would like to ask another debater, if you want to evaluate the stock market, can you not look at the past historical data?
Chen Xiaohuan: Another debater has been telling us how good technology is today, but is it impossible for good and bad to coexist? Can't good and evil coexist and perish together?
Kevin·Z: We don't deny that good and bad coexist, but we believe that human beings can control technology and will not be destroyed by it.
Jane An Jun: If your opponent really thinks that humans can control technology, please tell us exactly how.
Wang: The other debater has been enumerating all kinds of negative effects brought by science and technology, and has been talking about the harm of genetic technology, completely ignoring the great contribution that genetic technology has made to mankind. If genetic technology is useless, then why did Singapore National Institute of Education spend ten years to cultivate the world's first "China" with transgenic technology? Please explain.
Chen Xiaohuan: We don't deny the benefits brought by technology, but can't I hold you and stab you at the same time? Mind if I give you a hug and stab you?
Kevin·Z: So far, the other debater has been avoiding our questions. If mankind will be destroyed by science and technology, does another debater think that the five-year plan of science and technology implemented by the Singapore government is accelerating this destruction?
Jane An Jun: There is no contradiction between the implementation of the scientific plan and the fact that mankind will be destroyed by science and technology. We stand here today to understand this trend. Other debaters have not seen this trend. Why do you want to talk about the problem after the trend?
Wang: Then another debater's opinion is, since technology is useless, should we stop developing technology?
Fu Xin: The logic of the opponent's defensive friend is really strange. On the one hand, he has not realized the existence of the problem, on the other hand, he is asking me how to solve it. It's strange that he wanted to run before he left.
Kevin·Z: We think the other side's defense is even more strange. On the one hand, it is not contradictory to say that mankind will be destroyed by technology, on the other hand, it is not contradictory to continue to develop technology.
Wu Tian: It's not our contradiction. Because people have to bow their heads under the tide. Look at today's gene technology, which has impacted the last line of defense of human spiritual home-ethics. What should you do?
Wang: I'd like to invite four debaters with scientific literacy. Since technology will destroy mankind, why should we study scientific knowledge so hard?
abstract
■ Positive: Technology has brought convenience to mankind, but it has also planted the seeds of destruction.
■ Counterparty: We should pursue the truth, but we must not take individual phenomena as universality, and it is impossible to see the world through the eye of a needle.
Wang (four arguments against the other side): Here I want to point out three serious mistakes made by the other debater: First, summarize the situation point by point. One-sided emphasis and infinite exaggeration of the negative effects of science and technology.
Second, out of context, because there are some problems in the development of science and technology, it is asserted that science and technology will destroy mankind, completely ignoring the restraint and guidance of humanistic spirit and ethics on science and technology.
Third, the other side looks at things with a stagnant eye and only points out the problems existing in science and technology, while ours points out the innovation of science and technology from the perspective of development. Modern science and technology have brought us rapid changes and newer and faster solutions to problems.
Let me sum up our views: first, human beings are rational, otherwise there would be no birth of science and technology. We should pursue the truth, but we must never regard individual phenomena as universality, nor can we see the world through the eye of a needle.
Second, the technology is controllable. So far, we have enumerated many facts. What I want to emphasize here is that the existing problems can be completely controlled by human self-discipline and the development of science and technology. Under the double insurance of human reason and scientific and technological development, human beings will not be destroyed by science and technology.
Chen Xiaohuan (positive four debates): First of all, the other side told us how good the technology in the future is, but the word "will" in today's debate told us to look at tomorrow from today, not from tomorrow.
Then the other party told us from a historical perspective that we do not deny the benefits of science and technology, but no amount of benefits of science and technology can hide the disadvantages it brings. The focus of today's debate is whether the disadvantages brought by science and technology will destroy mankind, but the other debater has talked about him many times, and the debate is the second biggest mistake made by the other debater.
Then the other party 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. For a long time, it is above all moral, legal and rational consciences. What else can be controlled?
To sum up our views, first of all, technology has brought convenience to mankind, but it has also planted the seeds of destruction. Now everyone dares to say that science and technology are people-oriented. Is serving the people people people-oriented? Secondly, technology is deified, but people are instrumentalized, and everything is dominated by technology. Such examples abound around us. Technology was originally just a tool, but when it is deified and people are instrumentalized, such people are a kind of destruction. Third, science and technology are dominating the destiny of mankind with unprecedented power. The independence of scientific and technological development has long been beyond human control, which in turn dominates human beings. Technology is just a means, not an end. Only when we dare to admit the existence of this destructive trend can we tell you that the road is long, Xiu Yuan is Xi, and I will pursue it up and down.
