We are tempted to assume that technological progress is the real progress and that material success is the criterion of civilization. If the eastern people become fascinated by machines and techniques and use them as Western nations do, to build industrial organizations and large military establishments, they will get involved in power politics and drift into the danger of death. Scientific and technological civilization brings opportunities and great rewards but also great risks and temptations. If machines get into the saddle, all our progress will have been in vain. The problem facing us is a universal one. Both east and west are threatened with the same danger and face the same destiny. Science and technology are neither good nor bad. They are not to be tabooed but tamed and assigned their proper place. They become dangers only if they become idols. 81.
