This is the most dangerous time for our planet by Stephen Hawking

 

Stephen Hawking on our world today, from economy to Brexit, from Trump to inequality.

Fascinating read on The Guardian and on https://www.unlimited.world

[…] we need to break down, not build up, barriers within and between nations. If we are to stand a chance of doing that, the world’s leaders need to acknowledge that they have failed and are failing the many. With resources increasingly concentrated in the hands of a few, we are going to have to learn to share far more than at present.

We can do this, I am an enormous optimist for my species; but it will require the elites, from London to Harvard, from Cambridge to Hollywood, to learn the lessons of the past year. To learn above all a measure of humility.
