High-tech substitution

In this article, I would like to draw the attention of readers to the fact that the technologies that surround us everywhere are an effective tool for hiding true knowledge. Now, not only do most ordinary users of high-tech gadgets really have no idea how they work, but, surprisingly, almost the same state of affairs even among manufacturers.

I believe my readers are well aware that technology is, first of all, a method or means of obtaining a stable or, if you like, repeatable result. In other words, if we follow the technology we know, then we get the product or result we expect. Very often technologies are not accidentally found “know-how” on the road, but the result of sometimes lengthy scientific research. And high technologies, in turn, are the result of the activities of fundamental science. The fact is that, unlike the creators of technologies, manufacturers do not need a deep understanding of the complex physical processes that are often embedded in their products to master them.

It is enough to master only the algorithm of actions, to have a sufficient amount of source materials and "trick is in the bag." We were given any number of such examples from the 90s and the flow of "technology" from the economy of the People's Republic of China, rising from its knees, where, absolutely not burdened with deep knowledge, "manufacturers" from high-tech elements, leafing through pages with pictures, assembled in the slums literally on their knees as a designer a very complicated even for our educated home appliance engineers. There is no doubt that replicated technologies, no matter in what way brought to correct reproduction by "manufacturers", be it comics with pictures or clearly written instructions, allow the state to quickly raise the manufacturing sector in the economy, while not spending money on fundamental science, which, as we it is known that not all countries can afford it. Technologies, regardless of their area of application, are replicated and perfectly adapted to a variety of conditions and market segments. There is a huge variety of technologies on our planet, and all technologies have something in common that unites them, this is their specific description, which includes only all the most necessary things that are required to obtain the final product. In the modern world, the requirements for such descriptions are very peculiar. For example, there should be as little or no redundant data in them, which could lead a conscientious acquirer to the key knowledge, as a result of which these technologies were obtained. In other words, it is extremely important to conceal the fundamental data that formed the basis of a particular technology. How exactly with the help of a gap in the level of technology development a small group of people controls all of humanity can be read in the article "Slavery did not disappear, but changed its scale."

Those who bring technology to the masses, as a rule, keep true knowledge with themselves

The problem is not only that technologies, which are the product of scientific knowledge, as history shows us, sooner or later as a result of artificial or natural cataclysms in the absence of scientific knowledge itself. And the fact is that the technological leap that our civilization has made, having gone through three technological structures on its own or with someone's help, has led humanity into a consumer trap, from which it is not at all easy to get out of it without tangible losses.

Humanity is literally in the web of many technologies, which together behave very aggressively towards the person himself, forcing him to continuously consume and produce, while masterly diverting attention from the ideas of rational use of resources. I don’t know who owns the expression: "We ourselves only buy what is necessary, and they sell everything else to us." I would not hesitate to say much more rudely that we have not been sold for a long time, but are sophisticatedly “selling” goods that we do not need at all.

Technological trap

This became possible solely due to the coordinated interaction of several mechanisms.

1. The first mechanism of the trap is based on a clear understanding of the limits of the human mind's ability to objectively perceive and assimilate information. I must say right away that at present the ability to objectively perceive data in the overwhelming majority of people is modest. This is caused, first of all, by the already occurring consequences of an attack on the human mind with drugs, alcohol, psychotropic drugs, stress and other factors that lead to a change in human consciousness.

2. Those readers who are familiar with the craft of a magician-manipulator know that the more attentive (sober) the viewer, the more skillful the magician should be. The task of the magician is to use the means known to him to gain control over the viewer's attention and, at the right time, to direct him away from the main actions. When the magician allows the viewer to independently dispose of his attention, then, having discovered the changes that have taken place, he can no longer establish a true causal relationship, which causes confusion in him, often taken for delight. In our case, the real delight is not at all a spectator, but a magician. And first of all, from the fact that it is possible to continuously control the viewer's attention, leaving him no chance even to think about things that are undesirable to the "magician".

3. “Hurry to take the rubles, but at first he began to pick pictures from the wall” … And how do we differ today in terms of affection from the touching character of Nekrasov's poem? Pictures for every taste and color, this is exactly what the magician today gives us instead of objective reality by creating all the conditions (for example, combining a display and a camera into one gadget), where we ourselves create these pictures using high-tech devices ourselves, as natives, we admire them, transferring our attention from the display of one gadget to the display of another. At home, a TV and laptop screen, a monitor at work, a smartphone in transport, an ATM display, a cinema screen, social networks, all kinds of applications, games. And all this time our attention has been focused on the "pictures" of high-tech gadgets synthesized by displays, from which we (despite the abundance of "knowledge" on the Internet) will never know what is really going on.

A free people possesses fundamental knowledge, an enslaved - only technology

To break out of this vicious circle, it is necessary to restore the balance for each person between knowledge and technology, which is now clearly not in favor of knowledge. Indeed, only thirty years ago in the Soviet Union, the general level of technology of which approximately corresponded to the IV technological order, the popularization of science and technology was at such a high level that a schoolchild who reads periodical popular science publications could quite clearly explain how modern for that era, radios or even televisions. What, unfortunately, cannot be said about today's youth.

What was the cost of the newsreel "I Want to Know Everything"!

And "The Obvious Incredible"?

Somehow, Sergei Petrovich Kapitsa, answering the question "how to teach - knowledge or understanding"? He said: “All my teaching practice at the Physicotechnical Institute shows that understanding must be taught. Physicists started it at our institute, then it spread to other faculties. We didn’t have tickets, we could come to the exam with any manuals and notes, notes, the only thing was that we could not consult with a comrade. A person usually came with a question that he himself prepared and told what he understands in this subject. It was not easy to teach both students and teachers, but that was our goal. Because knowledge is very easy to get - from the Internet, from different sources, there are too many of them, and they are too mobile, and understanding is what remains. Vaclav Havel, president of the Czech Republic, dissident put it well: "The more I know, the less I understand." He very aphoristically expressed this gap between the level of knowledge and the level of understanding. The main task of real education is to teach understanding."
