While physicist Stephen Hawking is optimistic about the future, he warned in an interview published Tuesday that, with the pace of technological advancement, humans must gain control over their aggressive instincts in order to survive.

The famed English scientist told The Times that the issue lies in the instincts humanity has honed to survive so far.

“Since civilization began, aggression has been useful inasmuch as it has definite survival advantages,” he told the British newspaper. “It is hard-wired into our genes by Darwinian evolution. Now, however, technology has advanced at such a pace that this aggression may destroy us all by nuclear or biological war. We need to control this inherited instinct by our logic and reason.”

He suggested that the creation of a world government might be necessary to ensure that humanity is addressing high-impact challenges, such as climate change and the rise of artificial intelligence.

“We need to be quicker to identify such threats and act before they get out of control. This might mean some form of world government,” Hawking said. “But that might become a tyranny.” …

As long as it’s a global representative democracy that evolves out of several centuries of American hegemony, after we’ve taken to the rest of this systems worlds.

Even at the height of Cold War arsenals having an exchange there would have been gobs of people left.

Don’t these intellectuals ever consider the danger that government poses? If I have to sell myself into slavery for the promise of safety, I’d rather have a dangerous world, because there’s no such thing as a safe slave.

Haven’t read the comments here, yet, but I’ve never understood why anyone gives any attention to Hawkins.

Hawking worships energy in motion (evolution). This energy comprises the totality of the cosmos, thus Carl Sagan said, ‘all that exists is the cosmos.’ Typically, energy worshippers believe there are two opposing energies representing male and female, good and evil (or light and dark). It’s within this framework that we can understand Hawking’s religiously held belief that Darwinian ‘evolution’ is the cause of man’s hostility. Man is not fallen and in need of Jesus Christ, the Physician of our souls. Bad energy causes man to do bad things.

the world’s population has gone from two people to now what? 7 Billion people? And we’ve been around 6000+ years- seems to me that DESPITE aggression, we’re doing pretty well numbers wise-

[Bob434]

[[and says Jesus is “a fairy tale for those who are afraid of the dark”]] Well He is going to experience a darkness like He's never known before and He's going to be very very frightened forever- unless he accepts Christ as Saviour- He's also going to be in a 'hell of a lot' of pain The following is Just a few of my thoughts mixed in with the thoughts of a man called Alphonsus Liguori, a biblical scholar who has studied the issue thoroughly and wrote a book describing hell called "What will hell be like?" Here is the link:-

http://olrl.org/doctrine/hellbelike.shtml --------

Hell will be a fire so intense that it hurts the bones, not just the skin- (Ever had a bruised bone? It's very very painful- now imagine all your bones hurting like that- That is what the fire will do- pain deep to the bones) The fire that we know today, as terrible as it can be, is child's play compared to the supernatural fire of eternal damnation- This fire will literally boil the person's inside- but will not kill them- It will broil the brain, but we will not feel relief by going unconscious- it will boil the bowels- but will not destroy them- "Thou shalt make them as an Oven of Fire, in the Time of Thy Anger" - Psalm 20:10. Folks, the person in hell is going to burn forever- This is serious business- God isn't joking about this- He views sin that seriously- ---------

Hell fire will not consume, nor give light- this is no ordinary fire- it is a supernatural fire- it does not consume the body so there will be no relief day and night- ---------

Hell will also be freezing cold. "Let him pass from the snow water to excessive heat, and his sin even to hell." (Job 24:19) one moment you are burning, the next moment you are freezing- There will be no rest- No escape- constant torment ---------

Hell will be a place of constant torment by demonic beings (Think about folks- When Job says horrors- He is not exasperating- it's going to be horrifying- your worst nightmares played out constantly) "Before I go, and return no more, to a land that is dark and covered with the mist of death: a land of misery and darkness, where the shadow of death, and no order, but everlasting horror dwelleth." (Job 10:22). --------

Hell will be a place where the person is forced to think about God and about the terrible choice they made while they were alive- constantly- this will eat at the person for eternity --------

Hell is the place where the worm feeds on the flesh but does not consume the flesh- ie you will have a constant feeling of being eaten alive- Think about a simple itch and how annoying it can be- now imagine worms crawling all over your body- eating away- but never consuming the flesh- Just the sensation of it happening- --------

Hell is a place where thirst can not be quenched- ever- try going 2 days without anything to drink- it's not very fun, and is quite uncomfortable- Hell is eternal thirst- not just 2 days worth -------

Hell is a place of unimaginable overwhelming stench- Sin around some rotting meat on a hot day- I mean really putrid rotting meat- crawling with maggots- This is nothing compared to the inescapable stench of hell- if you are sensitive to foul odours- it's is only going to be worse in hell- --------

Hell is a place where there will be no relief from people constantly shrieking and screaming, both in anger and in pain- Ever try to sleep with loud noises present? Not very fun. --------

Hell will be so crowded that you won't be able to move- although it will be too dark to see anyone else- a person will be crowded- never able to find a comfortable spot to rest- always being shoved and manoeuvred around by unseen neighbouring damned- ---------

Hell will be a place where memories torment the person always- never ceasing- always remembering how they rejected God when they had the chance to accept Him- This knowledge will never leave them and always haunt their minds- They shall never find peace again- ever- --------

Hell will be a place where all our earthly desires to sin will be magnified many times- Whatever pet sins a person enjoys fulfilling now, that desire to fulfil them in hell will be magnified many times but they will be unable to full fill them- --------

Hell will be a place where rage and anger and disdain and fury take hold and consume a being- *********

Take heed- Hell is not going to be a big party place- it is serious business!- God is very serious about sin- and He is giving us all every chance possible to avoid it while we are alive on earth- Sin has no place in a Holy Heaven- God was not kidding when He told adam and Eve not to eat that apple- They didn't beleive Him- and no it wasn't 'just an innocent mistake on their part' it was a serious blatant violation of God's command not to eat of the tree- ************ Christ willingly gave His life, willingly sacrificed His life, willingly chose to lay His life down for yours- so that you, lost sinners, do not have to experience eternity without Him- He paid the price- Will you accept the gift?

He won’t be there to live under it but he would like to see much of the world subservient to a foreign body. Mighty progressive of him.

“It is hard-wired into our genes by Darwinian evolution. Now, however, technology has advanced at such a pace that this aggression may destroy us all by nuclear or biological war.

It isn't American nukes that are going to kill us all.

It isn't likely to be Russian nukes at this point that are going to kill us all.

Iranian nukes? North Korean nukes? Now you are talking about some gonzo leadership just crazy enough to use them.

And Islamic imperialist jihad has been a thing of conquest for over a thousand years.

We didn't tolerate Nazism's quest but Communism's quest and Islam's quest for rule are being pacified by people who think you can co-exist with a radical violent totalitarian ideology.

A very interesting essay and compilation.

[brucedickinson]

someone remind me why he’s “famous,” because I’m drawing a blank. He’s right up there with Neil degrasse tyson who is famous for being black and has also accomplished nothing but he makes liberals feel good

[Pollster1]

Aggression is a natural part of human nature. Conservatives want that aggression channeled into protecting freedom. The Ctrl-Left wants a government monopoly on aggression so they can control every aspect of our lives - regardless of what the little people think they want, Nanny Government knows best and will enforce their edicts aggressively.

[x_plus_one]

Just another post Christian Atheist Brit spewing up his ignorance of humanity.

[Hardastarboard]

A good summation of quotes. I would add a couple.

Paraphrasing Hayek - The people who most want power are the very people you don't want to have it.

PJ O'Rourke - When governments control what gets bought and sold, the first thing to get bought and sold is politicians.

[teeman8r]

Hey brainiac... with a one world government, where does one go if one doesn’t like the government?

Some people think too much, and have no sense of individuality... and the rights of the individual

[Clutch Martin]

This is the first time I have ever heard of a theory hard wiring anything.

[trebb]

Being a top genius don’t make one smart....

I see the issue with him differently.

He believes, as most liberals do, that man is not inherently flawed, that he is perfect, and that his environment makes him evil. Liberals like Stephen Hawking feel we should develop a government that is constrained by specific rules which is far more granular and detailed (what government should DO) as opposed to guided by specific ideas which are less granular and less detailed (what government cannot do).

They think that if we do that, men won’t simply steer around the specific rules that state what should be done and engage in activity that shouldn’t be engaged in.

Conservatives (and the founders) believe that man is inherently flawed, and government should be constructed in such a way to inhibit men from realizing and expressing those inherent flaws in the service of government, lest they become tryannical.

he’s survived for a suspiciously long time with a disease that would have long since taken anyone else to his maker

Here's an interesting article with lots of photo comparisons showing the existence of more than one "Stephen Hawking" over the years.

Stephen Hawking Died and Has Been Replaced by Miles W. Mathis

The author is, in my opinion, a bit of an idiot-savant but he does research his published work well and he definitely has interesting views on many subjects.

[odawg]

“I’m still not seeing any evidence of it.”

He is a physicist who has deluded himself into thinking he is a philosopher with final answers for humanity.
