Download The End: What Science and Religion Tell Us About the Apocalypse AudioBook Free
We live in a genuinely unique amount of human history, one in which the alarmist's hackneyed alert that "the finish is in close proximity to!" could actually become a reality. The earth is cluttered with ever more powerful advanced systems. Global warming and biodiversity reduction are unchecked catastrophes that will likely push world to the brink of collapse. How are we to respond to this example? What can we do to increase the likelihood of a positive outcome for our varieties? The End surveys the extending wilderness of big-picture risks before us. It offers a thorough and detailed evaluation of our evolving existential predicament, which includes risks from fabricated biology, nanotechnology, nuclear weaponry, and (possibly soon) superintelligence. But understanding the science of risks isn't enough to effectively mitigate them: One must also understand the social, politics, and especially religious contexts in which advanced systems are being developed. The End provides this knowledge by displaying how faith-based opinion in religious eschatologies (or end-time narratives) is inching us ever before nearer to a secular apocalypse. Action needs to be studied immediately to avert a disaster. The question is whether mankind will choose reason over beliefs, observation over revelation, and science over religion.
