Our ability to thrive in the 21st-century will not be determined by the power of technology or the application of brute force; it will be determined by the power of human consciousness and our capacity to more deeply empathize with the pain of others.

I like the sentiment, but I have to disagree. In following the development of AI and Biotech, it's clear that everything is about to change like never before in the history of life itself. Marianne, I ask that you read 21 Lessons for the 21st Century or Homo Deus by Yuval Harari.
I read Homo Deus. What did I say that is not in alignment with it?

You haven't said anything that's not in alignment with it, I fully agree that moving forward we will need more compassion and empathy in our politics, but I'm doubtful that we will be able to make a radical enough change in our mindset before these technologies overwhelm us.

We're already seeing how AI and algorithms are manipulating us to a degree once unimaginable, and I haven't seen any indication that they will be adjusted to promote empathy unless the Tech Powers that be can make a profit off that.
