Invite Friends Blog Sree Vijaykumar From the Editor's Desk In this interesting TED dialogue with noted historian Yuval Harari, he tries to explain what's happening with the world right now and what to expect in the future. It's a one hour video, so brace yourself, but several questions about governments, artificial intelligence, the future of identity, etc are tackled. One of the more positive and striking comments here is a reminder about how people in the 40s and 50s thought the world was about to end, with the cold war and the use of nuclear weapons. This possibility was not too far-fetched. But we humans rose to the challenge and the nuclear deterrent has actually forced many countries to take war out of their toolkit, and the world largely is a safer place than it was a few decades ago. So, in terms of human history, de-globalization and political divisiveness will be minor speedbumps that we will tackle. Climate change and artificial intelligence are the real issues we need to worry about. Entire video here.
