03 August 2021 Human rights defender Maria Arkhipova (Bast) assessed the current level of consciousness of human civilization

As the Association of Russian Lawyers  for Human Rights said, within the framework of the Association's work, questions are often asked related to the philosophical platform of the Association, and among them there is often the topic of whether human civilization has reached a sufficient level of development for the first contact with a highly developed civilization.

Maria Arkhipova (Bast) voiced her attitude to the issue of the uniqueness of human civilization. According to the human rights activist, given that there are trillions and trillions of stars in the Universe, it is illogical to consider ourselves unique, the only living beings. At the same time, the lack of contact from the side of highly developed civilizations, the human rights activist connects with the low level of development of human civilization as a whole, the understanding of the need to respect human rights and freedoms. For example, Russians are more often concerned not with the observance of human rights and freedoms, but with wages, housing services and similar everyday issues, although human rights and freedoms, the level of democracy determine everyday life. The logical connection between the observance of human rights and freedoms, democracy, and the rule of law among Russians is weak. It is important to understand what kind of civilization, if it is highly developed, will come into contact with creatures who have not established logical thinking. It is important to understand that civilization is assessed not individually, not by scientists, not by cosmonauts, but as a whole - in aggregate with all its contradictions and unsolved problems.
