宇宙学家、科幻作家卡尔萨根临终前(1996),在一次采访中对美国的警告。
“We’ve arranged a society on science and technology in which nobody understands anything about science and technology, and this combustible mixture of ignorance and power sooner or later is going to blow up in our faces. I mean, who is running the science and technology in a democracy if the people don’t know anything about it.”
我们已经配置了一个以科学和技术为基础的社会,但人们对科技几乎一物不知,这种愚昧和权力的易燃混合迟早会将我们社会炸开。我是说,如果人民对科技都一无所知,那么又由谁来推展这个民主社会的科学和技术呢?
卡尔萨根一直关心的科学在公众想象力中的位置。 #future

He silently #Google questions and hears the answers through vibrations transmitted through his skull and into his inner ear.

🌎 By 2050, urban areas are projected to house 68% of Earth’s population, increasing pressure on ecosystems. Smart city technologies, like energy-efficient buildings and automated waste management, aim to cut pollution and resource use. The World Bank estimates that smarter urban infrastructure could reduce energy use by up to 30%. ✨

🚀Маск: в будущем работать станет необязательно
Илон Маск на форуме U.S.– Saudi Investment Forum заявил, что через 10–20 лет работа может стать делом выбора.
По его мнению, тотальная автоматизация и распространение роботов приведут к миру, где дефицита больше нет, а деньги перестанут играть ключевую роль.
Понятно, что вопрос стоит не в том, наступит ли эпоха полной автоматизации, а в том, сколько времени на это уйдёт.
