Abstract

New scientific article by E.E. Ashursky is devoted to an interesting philosophical problem of search for the meaning of life in the difficult conditions of the current thoroughly globalized world - with its unrestrained wave of dizzying, and sometimes downright unpredictable techno-upgrades. And especially this seems doubly relevant today, when many of our hotheads, stunned by drugs and hostile Soros propaganda, call on the young Slovaks to profess the notorious "progressive model of development" of the bourgeois western civilization. That is why the author's opinion, rather boldly and timely expressed here, is not only a desperate attempt to sail against the elements, but also a socially significant burden quite consciously taken upon himself. Well and if one talks about the very style of given work then it much more (and above all - in its bright soulful penetration) resembles an incendiary journalistic essay than kind of dry
philosophical treatise divorced from actuality.

Keywords

Epicures, meditators, evolution of the Mind, the meaning of life, the sense of being, Apocalypse, the point of technological singularity, the categorical imperative 

SUMMARY

Well, in conclusion, it would not be out of place to recall the exceptionally profound thesis of Ray Bradbury: "The future should not be predicted, but warned!" [Katasonov, 2020]. 
Indeed, on the one hand, first in the entire previous history, humanity today, after all, got a real chance not only to correct certain mistakes made by nature, but also came up with some completely new optimal combinations for its pretty risque but exciting odyssey named life. Although, on the other, it is impossible not to pay attention here to the mass of dangers which are still hidden from the average layman, but nevertheless highly serious.
In particular, it is not secret that by the middle of this century, "something" should happen on our planet what does not fit downright into such a familiar, seemingly, measured rhythm of everyday being. Moreover current earthly population will decreaseas a result of this global "cleansing shift by at least half; and in addition, its structural hierarchy will radically change too. And here's the most, perhaps, important thing under such notoriously unfavorable circumstances not only to preserve a truly human appearance, a healthy gene pool and an unsullied conscience, but to protect, in the end, own "Self" from the pernicious catastrophic assimilation!
However, in today's world which, alasis thoroughly saturated with the ideas of positivism and money-grubbing, nobody de-facto listens for similar warnings. That's why the exclusive author's point of view expressed above is not only a desperate attempt to go against the stream, but a socially significant burden realizedly taken either. Moreover, it s namely in that we see professional vocation of each progressively thinking philosopher! 
Well, if one imagine, of course, the evolution of the Universe in the form of a kind of the avalanche rushing forward, then single miniature particle will unlikely be able to make any substantial adjustments to the general directory of this all-destroying movement. But nonetheless, a particle and plus possessing a mind - in our opinion, quite could at least stand up for itself. Which, believe me, appears to be an event more than epochal (and somewhat it s not excluded, by the by! - violating the main conservation laws that exist now).
