The book "Die Haftpflicht der Genossen und das Umlageverfahren" (The Liability of Comrades and the Sharing Procedure) by Dr. med. Thomas Schmid is a scientific work that deals with the evolution of technology and its impact on society. The author argues that the rapid pace of technological progress has led to a loss of control over the development of modern knowledge and that this lack of control poses a threat to humanity's survival. To address this issue, the book proposes the development of a personal paradigm for understanding the technological process and its implications for society. The book begins by discussing the concept of "technology" and how it has evolved over time. The author explains that technology was once seen as a tool for improving the human condition, but it has now become an end in itself, leading to a loss of control over its development. This has resulted in a situation where technology is no longer serving human needs, but rather the other way around. The author argues that this state of affairs is unsustainable and that we must find a new approach to technological development if we are to ensure our survival. The book then goes on to explore the idea of a "personal paradigm" - a way of thinking about technology that takes into account the needs and values of individuals and society as a whole. The author suggests that such a paradigm could provide a framework for understanding the technological process and making decisions about its development that align with human needs and values. He also emphasizes the importance of developing a shared vision of the future, one that includes all members of society, in order to ensure that technology serves the common good.
