Every mass murdering bunch of holy thugs or "intellectuals" starts this way. From the Crusades to the the Commies, ALL of them want to "Save the race".
Here the answer SH, LEAVE us alone. We survived for millions or billions of years without your help, we will be just fine.

The world has always been in caos politically, socially, and environmentally. We will get through the next 100 years in exactly the same way as we got through the past 10,000 years...one day at a time.

nearly 17,000 Yahoo Inc. users had responded to Hawking ... and between them all, there was not a single sufficient answer...
Can't even Steven Hawking help us? WE'RE DOOMED! /s
To: MNJohnnie
The answer is this. Some of us wont survive, But the Human race will.

Here's a suggestion:
Maybe if we started to live more closely to the standards set out by the Ten Commandments we'd stand a better chance of surviving another 100 years.
It's nuts, I know. Call me a radical.

Hawking's question: "In a world that is in chaos politically, socially and environmentally, how can the human race sustain another 100 years?"
This question presumes everyone defines political, social and environmental chaos in the same manner.
The question is: Is the world in any more political, social and environmental chaos than in the past?

Hmmm sounds like he is starting a 'crusade' for space living, and it is going to take a global tax to fund that adventure.

Elect Algore as president. He will save us.

The guy can't be very bright, if that's his question. In the history of life on this planet, species die from too few, not too many members. Large populations always spawn, what some might call "chaos". I reject the premise of the question.
To: N2Gems
The world has always been in caos politically, socially, and environmentally. We will get through the next 100 years in exactly the same way as we got through the past
10,000 1.2 million years...one day at a time.
there, fixed that.

Sounds like Hawking expects us to agree with his assessment of our world.
Why would we do that? He lives in one very small part of the world - restricted and inexperienced in "daily life" with which we have to deal regularly.
I would not waste my time taking part in such a rhetorical question when he leads with the answers he seeks.
To: N2Gems
I agree. Nothing is any different than yesterday, last week, last year, or last cetury, and so on. It's just that the entire world news is at your fingertips instantly.
It's surprising that such a smart man would think otherwise.

My reply to Mr. Hawking:
The question demonstrates the arrogance of humanity. WE can't save us. That's what we need a Savior for; His Name is Jesus Christ.
If you don't like that, don't get mad at me. Take it up with HIM.

The degree of political, environmental, and social chaos is no more significant today than at any other time in history. Thinking that times are worse now than they have ever been is staple of history.

Steve, the human race has managed just fine through thousands of years of chaos. I think it can survive a few more.
