Why?
For several reasons, some beyond our control, others within our control, one way or the other we are on the verge of a self made disaster, due to compliance on our part.
We witness massive change with technological advances and are now living in a world of two AI super world power conducting a new Cold War with China replacing Russia.
On top of this we have social media spreading conflicts, resulting in millions being displaced either within their own country turning into proxy wars.
As if that not enough we are seeing the start of economics activities disappearing into the cloud with profits seeking Algorithms.
An economic recession with no quantitative easing is well underway as is an acceleration of the changes in the climate so it stands to reason we going to see migration on a massive scale.
It’s too late to ask just how we managed to get to such a point but luckily because of nuclear weapons we can’t have a full scale world war without wiping ourselves of the face of the earth.
As we are presently witnessing with theUkraine and Russian, Israeli, Palistian, wars ate being conducted with drones
We going to see a USA presidential election determined by algorithms.
We can’t explain the condition of the world with the bible nor can we do it with science, but we can understand where we live and where we are going if we do not address our collective unsustainable consumption of finite resources we have to sustain life.
We drew lines – created inequality- committed genocides,introduced religiousness and laws with the power of the gun, corruption, greed, political ideologies, stock exchanges, hedge/ sovereign funds.
In addition we now-have algorithms decided what we look at, what and where we buy, how we might vote, who we might marry, what drug’s to take.
If we do not regulate AI we will be governed by network platforms.
Alpha Go should be used to regulate all algorithms to see that they comply to human values and sustainability.
—————-
Here is the uncomfortable truth.
If we do not care about climate change.
If we continue to widen the gap between the have and have not.
If we don’t provide the basic needs to live a dignified life.
If we continue to use wars, natural disasters as entertainment.
If we allow medium platforms spread false news.
If we turn a blind eye to poverty.
If we continue to pay lip service and remain reluctance to address the primary issues facing us it will not be a world war but a small home war that will unbalance the world.
Let’s say that half of the population of china had to move because of climate change, and most of the Sub Shara continent tries to get to Europe.
There will be no-borders, strong enough to prevent a terrible storm leading to a bomb waiting to explode.
WAR.
All human comments appreciated. All like clicks chuck in the bin.
