Stephen Hawking believes a single “world government” may be the only way to save us
posted at 12:01 pm on March 20, 2017 by Jazz Shaw

 

The guy who is widely considered to potentially be the smartest man on the planet is really upping his illuminati game this year. Stephen Hawking has long been a vocal critic of the development of Artificial Intelligence (AI), expressing some rather reasonable fears over what sort of decisions a machine with a truly superior intellect might make. But he also clearly feels that the genie is already out of the bottle and our robot overlords will be coming along sooner or later. So what can we do to prevent ultimate disaster and prepare ourselves before Terminator style robots are patrolling your neighborhood? It may require doing away with the quaint idea of individual nations and governments, replacing them with some sort of grand, global cabal. (The Independent)

Smart and wise aren't the same thing.  Hawking demonstrates that.
My political philosophy:

1) I'm not bothering anybody.
2) It's none of your business.
3) Leave me alone!

He's right, but it's the SECOND world government that will save us. The first will try to kill us all.
I've read the Book. I know how it ends.

Ha! True dat. Hawking is wrong on the solution but right on the problem - the beast is indeed growing.
The Republic is lost.

Hawking is absolutely brilliant an an inspiration to me about how to overcome adversity.

But I don't agree with him on this one.

Which is fine,
G-d bless America. G-d bless us all
