Humanity faces three existential threats this century, warned historian Yuval Harari at Davos 2020.
As we enter the third decade of the twenty-first Century, humanity faces so many issues and questions, that it is really hard to know what to focus on. So I would like to use the next twenty minutes to help us focus of all the different issues we face. Three problems pose existential challenges to our species.
These three existential challenges are nuclear war, ecological collapse and technological disruption. We should focus on them.
The challenges we should focus on.
Alongside inequality, the other major danger we face is the rise of digital dictatorships, that will monitor everyone all the time.
Does the future hold a digital dictatorship?
The twin revolutions of infotech and biotech are now giving politicians the means to create heaven or hell, but the philosophers are having trouble conceptualizing what the new heaven and the new hell will look like. And that’s a very dangerous situation.
All the three existential challenges we face are global problems that demand global solutions.
