Pancasila as the Foundation for Scientific Development
📌 The integration of science and religion is crucial; science without religious values is like being blind in daily life, while Pancasila serves as the necessary bridge between the two.
⚙️ Science requires guidance and boundaries; it must not be value-free but always bound by moral and ethical values.
🔬 The current era is characterized by VUCA (Volatility, Uncertainty, Complexity, Ambiguity) and post-truth, demanding science to provide solutions that benefit humanity rather than causing destruction or dehumanization.

Impact of Technology and Societal Transition
🔄 Indonesia is transitioning from an agrarian society to a modern industrial culture, aligning with Industry Revolution 4.0, often causing culture shock among those who become mere followers rather than informed users of technology.
💡 Pancasila must function as a tool for literacy, helping distinguish between beneficial practices to adopt and harmful ones to avoid in the face of rapid technological advancements.
🌍 Technological progress must adhere to environmental considerations, ensuring sustainability and avoiding exploitation that causes environmental damage, as warned in religious texts regarding corruption on land and sea.

Pillars of Scientific Advancement Guided by Pancasila
🏛️ Science is continuous and requires being tied to values; its strength rests on ontological (facilitating human life), epistemological (derived from rationality, experience, intuition, or divine authority), and axiological (direction of progress) pillars.
🤝 The five principles of Pancasila must be integrated into Science and Technology (S&T):
- Sila Ketuhanan (Belief in One God): Provides the awareness that life is a test determining eternal fate, demanding adherence to scientific ethics.
- Sila Kemanusiaan (Just and Civilized Humanity): Must universally guide all Indonesian experts (scientists, engineers, lawyers) to prioritize human values.
- Sila Persatuan (Unity of Indonesia): Underpins the continuity of the state; high nationalism in professional work leads to optimal productivity.
- Sila Kerakyatan (Democracy through Deliberation): Decisions must prioritize Musyawarah Mufakat (consensus), ensuring better outcomes by involving all parties willingly.
- Sila Keadilan (Social Justice): Aims to prevent widening social inequality and balance individual/group interests with the welfare of the community.

Key Points & Insights
➡️ Integrate Pancasila values into daily life and S&T development to ensure science is beneficial, humane, and sustainable for future generations.
➡️ Avoid consumerism and capitalistic tendencies in S&T development; professionals must operate with integrity, honesty, and reject corruption (e.g., in budget planning/RAB).
➡️ Scientists and experts must ensure their work serves to humanize people rather than creating dependency on technology, preventing alienation from social life, family, and religious activities.
