The man always studied the nature by means of his natural intelligence and his own place in it. The evolution basis of the natural intelligence is unity of thinking and feeling or, an indissoluble connection of theoretical, abstract thinking and living perception. Violation of this most active unity loads to troubles, sometimes of a global character, because in a world of high abstractions a lie can be easily passed for the truth; logical constructions can sometimes substitute the very physical reality for huge masses of people. The process of an active transmission and assimilation of an accumulated scientific knowledge by the following generations is slowed down and the society is gradually loosing a control over its the most powerful force - the fundamental sciences.
The best minds of the mankind have always had presentiment of such kind of danger. They tried by all means to preserve the Biblical harmony and evolutionary unity of abstract thinking and living perception in individual and public consciousness. If we do not into account too irrational methods of the highest truth comprehension, we must admit that the main method to preserve the unity of abstract thinking and living perception has always been the traditional technology of popularization of scientific achievements, which reduces abstract thinking of high science to living perception of an average, common knowledge level of the overwhelming majority of the people.
Such popularization has been useful in the past, but we have different situation now. An abstract level of the theoretical constructions in the contemporary science has sharply increased and today the gap between abstract thinking and living perception has reached critical scale. This gap determines the global crises that breaks foundations of the modern society. If we want reach the harmony, we must reconnect abstract thinking and living perception to get natural intelligence back. Now we got man-machine or artificial intelligence.
