The progress of human civilization depends on the development of two aspects: First, innovation in science and technology. The second is the improvement of spiritual awareness.
The material development of scientific innovation can be attributed to the materialist scientific view of nature. In a wide range of life practice activities, people experience and recognize the world they live in through discovery and creation, thinking and analysis. This is a rational, materialistic, bottom-up, partial-to-whole cognitive process. Because this cognitive process conforms to the rational and dialectical way of thinking of human beings, the experience and cognition generated on the basis of the materialist scientific view of nature are based on people's extensive life practice, therefore, this kind of experience and cognition, once established, has universal practical significance, it forms a kind of axiom, which can be understood and accepted by the public, and is a unified common experience and cognition.
The inner perception of spiritual consciousness can be attributed to the category of idealistic ideology. It emphasizes the inner perception channel of the individual, which is just the opposite of the scientific concept of natural development, which requires people to abandon the external cognitive channel of eyes, ears, nose, tongue, body and mind, and keep life activities in a state of silence, so as to link the origin of the universe and achieve the experience and cognition of the origin of the universe through internal perception. It is a perceptual, idealistic, top-down, whole-to-part cognitive process. Because this cognitive process is completely based on the internal perceptual activities of individuals, due to the differences in individual intrinsic perception, the results of experience and cognition of different people are very different, and it is difficult to form a unified experience and cognition, which has no universal significance and value.
The development of human beings over thousands of years has proved that the scientific view of nature can form axioms, form common experience and cognition, and have universal significance and value. Through spiritual inner understanding, only a very small number of people can reach the state of "end", and the vast majority of people can only walk on the "road" of experience and cognition, until the end of their lives, and still have no chance of the end of that "end".
The evolution and development of the universe, in essence, is a process of self-experience and cognition, and to accomplish this goal, it must rely on the continuous innovation of the material world. Therefore, the material world is a necessary channel to complete self-experience and self-cognition, and people need to use material to complete their experience and cognition, but matter is only a medium, a tool and a carrier, not a goal. Therefore, in this essential sense, all the substances that have been discovered and created and already exist should be experienced and recognized by the public, and they have completed their mission and no longer have higher practical significance and value. The value and meaning of reality always exist on top of the unknown. From this goal, it can be seen that the Datong social structure of distribution according to demand advocated by the communist industry is the structural form of human society that conforms to the laws of cosmic evolution. It is in line with the theme of "Creation, Experience, Cognition".
In the primitive period when productivity was relatively low, the principle of "equal distribution" could only be followed because the productivity could not meet the needs of human beings. However, with the development of society and the emergence of private ownership, the principle of "equal distribution" was broken, people completely ignored the essence of the evolution and development of the universe, and the goal underwent a fundamental change, and people took the pursuit of matter itself as the ultimate goal. The transformation of this fundamental goal has directly led to a qualitative change in the structure of the entire human society, and social resources have begun to be concentrated in the hands of a small number of people, and this small group of people who have a large number of resources have excessive material surplus, while the vast majority of the people cannot gain experience and cognition from the materials they have created. The economic crisis of capitalism is the most intuitive manifestation of this problem of social structure: on the one hand, a large amount of milk is discarded by the capitalists because of the surplus generated by the lack of purchasing power of the population, and on the other hand, a large number of people are struggling on the verge of survival due to poverty and lack of food and clothing.
Today, even though there are already billions of people on the planet, if we follow the principle of "equal distribution", our productivity is close to or even able to reach the capacity of "distribution on demand".
