The author stresses the need to look more closely at the characteristics of the pres- ent age, which limit people in-depth reflection. Points out the challenges that come with paradigm shift and notes that fundamental questions arise about the essence of humanity itself, the regression of humanity and what defines them. The author empha- sizes that man lives in a growing fear that his products (not all of them), which have a special value of ingenuity and entrepreneurship, may go against man. The development of civilization forces us to take action to protect human needs and rights, and therefore the progress of civilization should go hand in hand with the ethical, moral and spiritual progress of man and the return to common-sense thinking, as well as taking responsibility for the fate of man and the world we live in.
