Stephen Hawking: 'We need a World Government or Technology will destroy us'
TDS ^ | 3/9/17 | TDS

Posted on 03/09/2017 7:35:51 PM PST by Roman_War_Criminal

Physicist Stephen Hawking, who some have suggested is a conspiracy in and of himself, is now claiming we need “some form of world government” to protect us from the escalation of technology and artificial intelligence.

“Since civilisation began, aggression has been useful inasmuch as it has definite survival advantages,” he told The Times. “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.” … “The real risk with AI isn’t malice but competence,” Professor Hawking said. “A super intelligent AI will be extremely good at accomplishing its goals, and if those goals aren’t aligned with ours, we’re in trouble. “You’re probably not an evil ant-hater who steps on ants out of malice, but if you’re in charge of a hydroelectric green energy project and there’s an anthill in the region to be flooded, too bad for the ants. Let’s not place humanity in the position of those ants.”

No kidding... if it truly is encoded in our DNA to resort to aggression as a means of survival, what makes him think that among BILLIONS of humans, that all individuals, all groups, all peoples will also throw aside this biological imperative, and not instead use the world government as a tool to obtain power using these same technologies ? A world government may just as likely accelerate the development of our robot overlords, as those desiring absolute power exercise the levers of government against its subjects. Someone needs to buy this guy a copy of Star Wars II: Attack of the Clones!

Were it not for his handicap, he wouldn’t be noticed.

Hawking holds the Lucasian Chair of Mathematics at Cambridge. Past holders include Paul Dirac, Charles Babbage and Isaac Newton. He would most definitely be noticed, handicapped or not.

The irony is that people like him under a socialistic one world government, would be likely euthanised because they ‘cost too much’ because socialists don’t allow sick and elderly people in their utopian world- (and by the way- Ben Carson held this view as well- people like him thought that there should be a panel to determine who is cost effective and who isn’t when it comes to health care

“Decisions on who should be treated and who should not be treated clearly requires some national guidelines and obviously should be made based on the viability of the patient rather than the age of the patient. There are clearly many 90-year-old individuals who are healthier than some 40 or 50-year-old individuals and certainly medical treatment should not be withheld if there is a reasonable chance of recovery and resumption of a normal lifestyle. If a patient insisted on having everything done, consideration of more aggressive treatment should be given.”)

So here Steve is advocating for something that would not allow him to live- Pretty dumb Steven-

And by the way Steven- there WILL be a one world government one day as Christ rules for a 1000 years- so you’ll get your wish- just not in the way that you thought- and it will be a million times better than your limited finite mind can comprehend

Is it “theoretical physics” or is it just fantasy?

I know he is English, but couldn’t they still do something about those teeth? He is a multimillionaire after all.

It just goes to show, one can have a brilliant scientific mind, and still be a clueless horse’s ass.

I agree with him.
We need a one world government and I should run it.

Gotta respect that with his disabilties he still managed to make a signifigant contribution to cosmogany. But sadly he seems to be adicted to fame and attention and talking crazy about things he is not an authority on.
