It is true that there is constantly a search that seems infinite about something to go, or what to find. The human being has been engaged and has limited your possibilities by focusing on just one type of development. I am not trying to deny that a higher performance of the brain would be more advantageous, but there are also other parts of our being that we must develop.
You're right, although those capacities are important and have advanced our civilization, they should not exceed our moral capabilities, which becomes increasingly difficult. But they also make our moral standards grow. Just imagine everyone being savages and having nukes :P
This would be grotesque, haha. Yes, morality is important, beautiful science does not guarantee it, but when science and morals come together the human being really looks like a beautiful being!
beautiful !
