According to Osho, the 'modern man' has not yet appeared; most people live with ancient, conditioned minds, so they are not truly contemporary. Science and technology are neutral powers requiring a mature consciousness, but in immature hands they become dangerous—like giving a sword to a child—resulting in misuse, war, and mass destruction. The real task is evolving human awareness to match our tools.
We’re old-minded people using powerful gadgets like kids with a sword; the tools aren’t bad, our thinking needs to grow up.
