Dear everyone,




The value and significance of anything should be measured in the long river of history. The impact of Western science on humanity in the past 300 years is indeed significant, but the negative effects of Western science are also too great. In a thousand years, humans may only remember Eastern cognition and civilization, because it was the East that created civilization and inspired Western civilization and Western science. Without Eastern civilization, humans would likely still be primitive, let alone modern science.




Thank you everyone!
