RE: Stephen Hawking Warns Humanity

in #life7 years ago

Earth’s resources are not infinite. Mankind could truly destroy itself with its own hand.

Sort:  

It's been in the process for many years. I couldn't agree with you more.

Agreed, but by the same token Humankind could undo the damage and create a World of balance. I choose to believe in and work towards the latter through action and spreading truths.

Why go to college? There's Google.

Hi fedesox,

Your words sound true. Mankind will eventually undo itself without the help of aliens or meteors or even mother nature. Only when humanity as a whole live a life without greed and everything excess can humanity transcend to higher levels of technology and understanding.

Peace,
Jack the Reader.

exactly... AI with greed is a recipe for disaster. I blog a lot about it

The response to: "Will humankind, as we know it, disappear?" Is of course yes (sorry for the life spoiler but we all die). Of course we will disappear, living beings, societies and planets. Our sun will explode in 5 billion years or maybe earlier than that. The question then becomes: "What will we do with the remaining time?".

Yes it is naive to believe that anything will last forever, but ultimately future generations will have to deal with whatever new problems may arise in the future just as we must deal with the past's mistakes.

we basically are in this mess because it is expected that the next generation to fix it :)
so now we live in a claptrap as a result. Interesting but dangerous time. Many people have absolutely no idea though, just wait for AI to become immortal and passively support the next level of their servitude. I blog a lot about it

Человечество уже это делает, разрушает все то , что ему дано и не нужно ждать так долго 400 лет , чтобы увидеть коллапс.

fear, scarcity... contrast the reality of seeing how much food is literally thrown away, how much product is literally wasted in the production of crap...

we are not acting like it is scarce, we are acting like we can consume forever without producing anything, and when we run out here, just go somewhere else and rape that planet.

this really doesn't sound like a good plan to me.

we could live in perfect harmony with the planet and not 'need' to go anywhere else.

but it is more profitable to pretend a space program, and for that we must scare the population into believe we must find a new home.

well, i'd like to take care of this one, stop pretending we can escape.

I completely agree, this reality is a bad illusion and fear inducing...monetarism has created a fake scarcity and that is why AI is a threat....I blog a lot about it.

Very well said !

There are sustainable solutions for just about everything, though. Things need to change, we need to learn to minimize our ecological footprint in these industrious times, and we're starting to do that, e.g. with the advancements in clean energy. Don't be so bleak.

just know that right now, we waste 50% of the food production, worldwide... the problem is money that causes scarcity. I blog a lot about it :)
