The end of one is the beginning of another
There is nothing eternal in the world, everything has a beginning and an end. And this (and indeed everything in general) should be treated philosophically.
Progressivism Project – research series: The study of the topic of progressivism has worried me since my youth, since the time of the first books I read by the Strugatsky brothers, who presented this concept to the world.
According to Strugatsky, progressors are representatives of highly developed intelligent races whose duties include promoting the historical progress of civilizations at a lower level of social development, and to put it another way, progressors are those people/humanoids who impose their worldview on weaker civilizations. These can be gifts in the form of new knowledge, new technologies, as well as the endowment of wards with superpowers at the genetic level; in this case, most likely, the wards of civilizations lose their identity, special features.
Is this really necessary for more backward civilizations? Don't they need to go their own way in a timely manner, do they need worlds created like carbon copies, even if they are reasonable, high-tech and humane?
If we look at this theory through the prism of world history and correlate it with various events taking place in different time periods on our planet, then the influence of the "progressors" constantly and persistently runs through them. For example, the imposition of their “world order” by more developed countries - third world countries under the motto: “Happiness for everyone, and let no one leave offended.”
In this project, I suggest the viewer to speculate whether we/they need progressors? Is outside influence always justified? I'm not giving answers, I'm offering questions for discussion, I'm opening a portal to a problem that goes hand in hand with an interdisciplinary approach to understanding this topic.
