अन्धं तमः प्रविशन्ति येऽविद्यामुपासते । ततो भूय इव ते तमो य उ विद्यायाँ रताः / The one falls into darkness who follows ignorance but one who follows science falls into darkness even more, - Īśopaniṣad, 10.
All wants to go only forward. But I think, today is smarter to go backwards. To look, to search what we have lost. What we have lost with all this "progress". And we have lost so many things, almost everything - air, water, earth, rivers, rivulets, trees, flowers, songs, innocence, belief in all that sacred. It is easy to go forward, there is no need to think, just go with a crowd, with television, technology, compiuters, the USA..., - Jonas Mekas
Apart from the agglomeration of huge masses in which the individual disappears anyway, one of the chief factors responsible for psychological mass-mindedness is scientific rationalism, which robs the individual of his foundations and his dignity. As a social unit he has lost his individuality and become a mere abstract number in the bureau of statistics. He can only play the role of an interchangeable unit of infinitesimal importance. Looked at rationally and from outside, that is exactly what he is, and from this point of view it seems positively absurd to go on talking about the value or meaning of the individual, - Carl Gustav Jung
