We need philosophy now more than ever

If we would be able to turn on a machine that could do anything for us, should we do it?

What is the purpose of us, humans, as thinking and emotional entities in the world?

If we are the last step to a next level intelligent species, how should we face this fact?

Should we believe we can control the genie? Should we hope that the genie will be good for us in the long run?

Do we have the right to stop progress and be content with a mediocre level of society because progress leads to something too powerful and unpredictable?
