Delivered by Dr. Prof. Vladimir Skvortsov;

Comparing to previous years and centuries, modern humanity has reached a significant progress in own development in many spheres. The today's technology enthusiasts and innovators are expecting even more in both near and far future. And actually our life is much more comfortable than in previous decades, and of course centuries. The modern technologies (robots, AI) make almost miracles in producing excellent products and services that we could not even imagined before.

Modern times ideal life is presented in many TV and Internet advertisements and smart consumerism. There majority people follow those ideas trying be successful in their lives, using all their capabilities and strengths, even some people are ready to commit suicide in case if they cannot reach that life. The companies develop own strategies for their profitable current and future operation. So another fact of modern economy is a maximization of profit for successful survival in competition. They also invests a lot of money in creation of their beautiful image. It makes sense to say that they are quite successful in doing that. And they are very professional in their areas of business. So it looks like a modern society is much better than before ¡¦

However behind the that beautiful picture there are many issues that remind us Jesus Christ's dispute with Pharisees. It is known that they wanted to present themselves as true followers of Moses Law, however Christ called them 'whitewashed tombs'.

Woe to you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! For you are like whitewashed tombs which indeed appear beautiful outwardly, but inside are full of dead men¡¯s bones and all uncleanness.

Recently I got news about some statistical data of 2019 Korean Economy, one fact attracted my attention - 9 people died working in Korea Post services (on TV was a documentary film about it), the reason for death is overwork, all of them could not even reach their sixties. It is probably not so big number, especially if we talk about an overall population of the country. However I was still shocked by the fact because they were relatively healthy (no serious diseases) and died only because of overwork leaving their families often with children without further support. I imagined how much they would have contributed to their families and jobs if they had not passed away so early. Perhaps we can find excuses in those situations, for example, saying those people are heroes who work for delivery of very important things like a some medicine for dying patients, where even a second delay may play a negative role on chances of their survival. However something makes me not to think like that because in majority of cases they deliver not emergency medicine but very typical everyday purchases where a delay in delivery does not influence on life or death of people who ordered them.

If you meet CEO or president of any successful company, probably you will be impressed how nice he/she is, friendly, good looking, educated, experienced, stylish. Let's think about maximization of profit, which spread in our society. what would you see if you were in a backyard of those enterprises or factories where many illegal or low-paid workers (working without properly managed contracts, no insurance, working 12-14 hours more a day, they just go to sleep for short time and then work again) are employed, only in such way many of such enterprises can stay competitive and offer good prices for their products. Where are those innovations...robots and A.I making our lives so nice ?
