Global warming is steeped in Scientism, which is a religion that blames every woe known to man, on global warming. However, pseudo-science is no god, and scientists are no priesthood.
Istvan ran for President as the Transhuman Party Candidate; now he is running for governor in California as a Libertarian candidate. He is calling for Universal Basic Income for everyone.
Why are Islamic countries so interested in 'Green Economy'? The book, Green Deen: What Islam Teaches about Protecting the Planet by Ibrahim Abdul-Matin states that 12% of the Koran's verses concern care for planet Earth. This, he claims, is why Islam is totally behind Sustainable Development and its UN programs.
With bipedal mobility, the robot revolution is about to explode into public view. Building artificial humans is dangerous to the survival of our species, driving the value of human labor toward zero.
A consortium of GE, Intel and AT&T will make history by outfitting San Diego with the most draconian surveillance system ever installed. The energy 'savings' of installing energy-efficient LED lighting have absolutely nothing to do with mass surveillance intentions.
With 39,000 camera- and microphone-ready streetlights, San Jose could become the global model for the total surveillance society. Whether they admit it or not, Technocrats are driving the world toward Scientific Dictatorship, or Technocracy.
After the release of Parag Khanna's book, Technocracy in America, we predicted that there would be calls for Technocracy, and here it starts. Technocracy is much more than just 'rule by experts' and it will result in Scientific Dictatorship is left unchecked.
The next war will be fought with robot technology, as Technocrats seek to find maximum efficiency and effectiveness. The collateral civilian damage could far exceed WWI and WWII.
Smart Cities will be enabled by the Internet of Things that connect everything together; Nokia is competing with other technocrat companies to be first to set the standards.
Technocrats view humanity as just part of the machine, a bag full of randomized atoms that are no better than other species. This is seen in Harari's statement, "you come to realize there is no true self. There is just a complicated connection of biochemical connections, without a core. There is no authentic voice that lives inside you."
