00:00The technology creates such a havoc in our life.
00:02We do need an escapism from this chaos around, which is again provided by technology.
00:07So I'm trying to understand how do we attempt to, you know, escape from this vicious cycle.
00:12Science put to use is technology, right?
00:15Science used to fulfill your desire is technology.
00:20So it's not technology that unleashes a havoc, it's your desire.
00:25Science is knowledge of the material.
00:28Now, what do you want to do with knowledge?
00:30Depends on your own inner orientation.
00:33You split open the atom and you can use that energy to power a city,
00:38or you could use the energy to destroy a city, the same city.
00:43So technology is a direct function of your inner mental condition.
00:48And it's a part of the entire game of not looking inwards that we prefer to rather blame technology.
00:57And sometimes even science.
