The truth is we have only after centuries of killing each other it’s not difficult to imagine the next step to how pathetic we will become.
YUVAL NOAH HARARI see the algorithm as “ arguably “ the single most important concept in our world.
His latest book Nexus describes some kind of automaton that especially through smartphones use we have succumbed to the cold inhumanity of compassionless algorithms.
Somewhat a remarkable claim, given such concepts as time, identity, information, morality, and so on.
Determinism is central to his world view.
Honestly every thing in the quantum world of entanglement and chaos points to non deterministic outcomes.
He argues that 20th century scientists found neither self nor free will.
We can at least assume they knew what both looked like before commencing their search.
He therefore stated that we’d never expect to hold a fully determined robot legally responsible for its actions, but we do hold fully determined human beings legally responsible for their actions.
The ethnical implications are glossed over, but a jurisdiction governed by this principle would have no selves to prosecute, casting doubt on the legitimacy of prisons and the legal system.

How did the planet earth get into such a dire state on terms of climate crisis and degraded environment?
Donald Trump has pushed us to the point that we can’t even agree on the weather.
What a stupid time to be alive.
Nothing would exist without temperature and the words adaptation and mitigation are ridiculously inadequate to describe what is coming.
Has anyone thought about unplugging American then plugging it back in again.
Hush, now before we look after the planet close to my heart are some home truths.
Democracy and the rule of law just aren’t doing the business. Why?
Because we all now connect with a computer in our pockets call a mobile phone. Also with social media we are all publishers.
This alone is an enormous destabilising factor that we have not figure out as yet.
So what will ?
Perhaps another pandemic, a nuclear explosion , an asteroid, a natural disaster, or Hubble discovery of another life form might do the trick.
It won’t be the second coming of any prophet, or AI, or American or Chinese domination.
All human comments appreciated. All like clicks and abuse chucked in the bin.
