> Since 1945 we have known that nuclear technology could generate cheap energy for the benefit of humans—but could also physically destroy human civilisation.

The article seems stupid, but part of it motivated me to see if Amitav Ghosh wrote about AI(Salami)
> We have always appreciated the power of stories...

#YuvalNoahHarari is like a recent #AlvinToffler stringing together cliches that seem smart?

Ciertamente, uno de los resortes ocultos para luchar con éxito con las situaciones puede muy bien residir en el sentido del futuro que tenga el individuo.

#PensamientoAtropellado

Toda civilización tiene un código oculto, un conjunto de reglas o principios que presiden todas sus actividades y las impregnan de un repetido diseño.

Everyone everywhere should read Alvin and Heidi Toffler. Reading Future Shock (1970) changed my whole way of seeing the world and now that I'm reading The Third Wave (1980) I can see that it's they that are great, not just one of their books. Seriously, do yourself a favor and read their stuff. Put a longer scope on your time horizon, bro.
