Stephen Hawking Warns Humanity
If humanity doesn't become a truly spacefaring species in the next five centuries or so, we may well go extinct.
~ Stephen Hawking
The world is diverse, beautiful, and mysterious. You do NOT need an artistic eye to see the great beauties of the world and all of it's hidden treasures just like we can also see all the evil that has been conspiring in the world. Maybe where that phrase " take the good with the bad " comes to play.
During a video presentation at the Terrence Web Summit in Beijing, November 5th, Hawking went on to explain how the rising human population, and our needs from earth itself could prevent us from living on this beautiful planet by the year 2600.
In his presentation, Stephen Hawking also talked about his new project Breakthrough Starshot. It's an $100 million project that is aiming to develop uncrewed, sail-equipped probes that will be accelerated to 20 percent the speed of light by powerful lasers.

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

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 :)
I dread to think too much about that AI revolution. It sounds crazy to some, but when you look back on movies even... 10/15 years ago, they basically have come to pass present day.... it's as though we are slowly but surely been drip fed the advances in technology so that we wont 'notice' and just accept it as the norm.
Rage against the Machines...
@aineyann I love your comment. I was just thinking the same earlier today. There's been some talk about AI's in the new film Blade Runner which I haven't seen yet but will check it out to see what all the hype is about. In my OPINION, the government already has things and bots set up. I posted about Sophia the AI robot who was also granted citizenship in Saudi Arabia. A lot going on under our nose.
Oh yes, it's so true... and clear for those who have the eyes to see it :] ... it's when you look back on it all... and how they promote AI in movies and shows all the time.... there is even an AI that can marry you and your partner in certain parts of the world.. :/ ... not to mention robocops for real.
It really is going on under the surface, but in plain sight.. I always feel the powers that be( not to sound crazy lol) are laughing at us ! .... ohh yes I saw Sophia.. see how realistic she looks.... and that's only what we are been shown... I wonder how realistic they really are...
I saw something once, A program that can literally fake have anybody ( i.e Trump for example) appear to be saying a certain thing ( as you choose)... makes you wonder , how much of these people are real.. ( now that's disturbing, lol)!
ironically, what if the ai is actually your ego. the ai that we are so afraid of is the ego that has taken your place and pretends to be you. it is that thing that has opinions, carries grudges, punishes wrong doing, and basically destroys everything it touches. look around at the planet. that is our collective ego in control.
i heard eckhart tolle talk about "how can i be sick of myself?" that must mean the i is separate from the self. in meditation, i created a gap between the 'i' and 'self' .. you notice this gap exists when a loud sound happens and you don't jump, you process it differently, you are no longer acting automatically, you get to choose what to do.
i've come to believe we are all under ego delusion to some degree. i'm no exception. i've thought before 'my ego is an asshole, but i'm not' .. but the ego isn't an asshole either, it simply operates given its understanding of the world. to change that understanding means to redefine everything you know about existance, because nothing else will restore your ego to sanity.
what is this enormous change? recongizing that you are connected to all things, you have enough, you get what you desire without needing.
whew, long post. i have ideas, thoughts, that i hope can help change the world for the better, i hope i've made something of value with this post.
partially true but you speak as if you are not fully informed about the AI origins.
on my blog, look for The AI Paradox: Black Goo, Supramolecular Scale And 4D Printed Programmable Materials
I wish they'd give him a normal voice.
He knows all this shit, but can't figure out how to walk... ok sure!
Hi bayareacoins,
Even I wish that people can give Hawking a better voice... well, they actually tried but they realized that Hawking's current voice has become his "voice" and its too iconic for them to even try changing.
Peace,
Jack the Reader.
Thanks 4 sharing. I am very interested in science.
Am I the only one who is skeptical about Stephen hawking saying anything that is attributed to him?
Let's hope so.
Space species, duh! We even don't have a united planet earth for that...
It really is going on under the surface, but in plain sight.. I always feel the powers that be are laughing at us... hahaha) what goin on?)
He is on dmt
I think Earth has enough resources to sustain all of us forever, but it's just our greed which outweighs it. We really have to start colonizing different planets to fulfill this greed of ours.
