“First of all, facing the appeal of material benefits, human beings have been corrupting and ruining indulgently on conventional culture and moral values, establishing the supreme rule of short-term self-interests on the earth. The survival of human beings must rely on certain material basis, the pursuit for material interests is inevitable, therefore, the evolution history of humankind civilization is always tight connected with the development history of the way of how to obtain material interests. For the material interests that human beings has somewhere in common with animals, however, human beings is radically distinguished from animals not only human has the ability of creating and utilizing tools, but more important also the consciousness of cultural speculativeness and moral sentiment. It is no other than this reason, human can be the noblest life, and the life is endowed with intelligence to control all of creatures on the earth. Unfortunately the weakness of animality in human nature was aggravated before and after the rising of industrial civilization, and incessantly impact, corrupt and destroyed the quintessence of conventional culture and morality, make a supreme rule of short-term self-interests established firmly on the earth, and proceed without any hindrance. The following and coming decline so soon, namely this civilization which is established on the supreme rule of short-term self-interests in a vicious cycle goes down to be inevitable. The birth of Industrial Revolution ended the history of archaic farming and handicraft industrial civilization, created an epoch of the history of mankind’s industry civilization. It is the first powerful turn in human history. This transition stimulates global economic into integration, and that brings the short-term benefits as a fired rocket with irreversible power launched to the space, guides the human’s model of conduct in every side and layer, which makes people not care of long-term responsibilities, interpersonal importance, and another important relation between humankind and nature. It is so greedy that destroying own living space with predatory and ruining production mode and lifestyle. Supreme rule of short-term self-interest is the root cause that arose the two world wars, and financial crisises once again and again. The disastrous global events above are only one side, another more important side is that nature retaliate and punish on humankind. Numerous sudden disasters which were not seen in tens even a hundred years in succession recent years, striking on the industrial civilization and society of human beings live on this planet badly, too many catastrophes and disasters happen at any moment to list them, they are obvious to all. The current human, in fact, already facing a huge living crisis, a variety of potential crisises has been formed by catastrophes, and with the unprecedented high frequency occurred in both society and nature, it is very anxious for some men of insight, they are calling on humanity in all kinds of method, but caused response is very little, all of these is making an irreversible decline of industrial civilization until the final end.”
