Chapter 257: Chapter 257: The Phenomenon of Technological Self-Destruction (4000 words, please subscribe!) Upon careful analysis, we can identify some rather obvious backlash forces. For instance, a large number of drug manufacturers used to believe they were doing a noble job by making medications that save lives. They were happy with their work, but now it’s become a dirty, bad thing. Similarly, being a soldier, and protecting one’s country was seen as a noble pursuit, but invading other countries for the sake of certain productive capabilities turns it into something dirty.

Even if these workers continue to follow the orders of government departments, over time, they may start to harbor doubts deep within, eventually leading to various social issues.

They might even start abusing drugs themselves; such outcomes are not impossible.

“According to the theories of New Civilization History, some periods of mediocrity are due to such technologies. I refer to this phenomenon as: Technology Self-Destruction Phenomenon.”

As talk turned to technology self-destruction, everyone became more interested, no longer as somber as before.

There are many potential factors in technological self-destruction. To give a specific example, atomic energy, if used peacefully, could provide endless energy. If used for war, it could easily destroy the entire world.

Fortunately, atomic energy is within human intellect to utilize, so it has not destroyed the world.

“But I believe that in a universe so vast, there must be foolish civilizations that have destroyed themselves with the invention of nuclear bombs…”
