Scientific and technological advance is always good.

The term "always" is very controversial. In this world nothing continues forever and there is no thing whose value is "always" true to "everything". So ninety-nine percent of the  matured persons would consider this topic as "false", just because the word "always"  is used there. But is it too superficial, isn't it?

Yes, it is true that all inclusive term is rarely properly used in the human world. it is, though, "an over-riding principle" and "There is no rule but has an exception". So here attention should be paid to the "exception".

Now some consideration should be given to the usage of the word "good". According to a dictionary at hand, the term "good" is defined as something or some situation that do us something advantageous. So something is being "good" when and only when the thing gives us what is wanted. So the next step is quite clear. What do you think about what we would like to have, in other words, what we would like to have from the bottom of our heart?

In the study of psychoanalysis, they use a technical term "the pleasure principle" which means that we human beings act according to subconscious instruction to go to something pleasurable. Let us think this way: if we made up our mind to learn from everything around us, from all the experiences including good and evil,  from the past experience as well as our expectations in the future, then can we conclude that everything is good?

If we apply this principle to "scientific and technological advance", then can we say safely that scientific and technological advance is "always" good?

As we all know scientific and technological advance could be sometimes very dangerous and gives us a great damage like FUKU-1 nuclear power plant accident. If we can learn a lesson from the accident and try our best not to repeat the case, isn't it at least an acceptable experience?

Only when we think this deeply, the topic today "Scientific and technological advance is always gool"?
