Stephen Hawking
Being a Cambridge-based theoretical physicist, I lived a wonderful life with a lot of advantages. Cambridge is the center of the best universities in the world and a city different from the ten cities. I am spending the age of 20 in the scientific community of this city. The city has become more dirty than it was then. There is a small group of international theoretical physicists in this scientific community, many of the groups like to think that people reach their peak of success. I spent my career with these people out of the reach of ordinary people. Outside of this, due to the starfish and physical illness due to writing books, it has tempted me to think that my peak of success is higher than others.
Recently, in the United States and Britain, when the case of rejection of the respected class was visible, I definitely felt myself as a target of amorphism like other elites. Now, analysts do not have any doubt about the fact that British voters are out of the European Union (Bracket) and the decision to elect Trump as the president of the American people, there is no doubt that these two incidents are the result of the wrath of all those who think that their leaders Does not look at interest. Everybody seems to agree, in one moment, the incident happened two days when people started rejecting the advice and advice of the elite class everywhere. I'm none other than these elites. Before the break vote, I also warned that the emigration of Britain from the EU would hurt the science study of the country, which would make Britain lag behind. But voters did not take into consideration political leaders, trade union leaders, artists, scientists, businessmen and painters.
What the elitist community like me will react on the issues that the voters of these two countries have given them, it has become a big issue now. What should we do now? Will we refuse to give them the verdict that the voters have given to the failure of our consultation and for democracy? My point is, in this case, there would be more serious mistakes.
It is certainly understandable how this vote will impact the economic consequences of globalization and the gradual increase in technological change. Automatic automation of factories has already brought changes in traditional production and reduced jobs. Artificial intelligence brought down the collapse of employment and put the middle class in crisis.
The economic discrimination that has already grown around the world, these technologies will further increase the inequality. The internet and many other areas allow people in very small groups to earn huge profits. At the same time very few people are getting a job opportunity. It is inevitable that even though it is visible progress, it is socially destructive.
We have to understand that in the continuation of the economic breakdown, such conditions are being created, where very few people are taking huge amounts from the financial sector and we are used as their tool for their greed. Such a situation is not condensing us, but moving towards a world of expansive financial inequality, where the common people are not far from the standard of living, living a life of livelihood. That is why it is no surprise that they are looking for new ways and that their attitude might be the source of trump and breaks.
Another thing is that the exposure of the internet and social media around the world is showing the face of financial disparity more than the past. Technology is a very popular medium for me as a medium of communication. Without technology, it would not have been possible for me to continue my work for the past several years. But it is understandable that the lives of the wealthiest class in the world's richest area, a poor man with the ability to use mobile phones from any part of the world, is watching very painful feelings. In the sub-Saharan area, nowhere many people get pure water, now more than a mobile phone in hand. This means that there will be a situation in our planet that will be more crowded, which will not be possible to get rid of any discrimination.
Now the most worrying thing about me is that we need to work collectively on our planet at any given time in human history. There have been some tragedy challenges in front of us. They are climate change, food production, excess of population, extinction of various species, epidemic diseases, ocean contamination, etc.
These are reminding us that we are in the worst times in the path of progress of human civilization. We have discovered the technology to destroy the planet we live on, but we still can not find the technology to escape from this planet. Maybe within a few hundred years, we can move to another planet. But at the moment we have only one planet and we need to work together in the interest of protecting this planet. To do this, not to disturb walls in the country or with one country, as a division of another country, but to be broken. If we want to do that, the world leaders will have to accept that they have failed in many cases and are still in the process. A small number of people will have a balanced distribution of the resources of the hill.
