We are entering an era defined by rapid advances in AI, quantum computing, biotechnology, and robotics. However, technology is not the end goal; the fundamental question is "what kind of civilization are we building with these capabilities?"
Since human capability often grows faster than human wisdom, history shows that "power plus poor governance" rarely ends well. Thus, the greatest challenge of this century may not be creating smarter machines, but ensuring that "we are mature enough to use them."
