Acharya Prashant addresses the paradox of increasing superstition in a technologically advanced era. He explains that most people are merely consumers of technology without understanding the underlying science. As technology becomes more complex and opaque, such as Artificial Intelligence compared to a simple bicycle, the gap between scientific progress and individual scientific awareness widens, creating more room for superstition. People often use advanced tools like smartphones to spread primitive beliefs because their internal nature remains unevolved, acting like an ancient beast equipped with modern weapons.
