Ergebnis für "das ende" in Zukunftsstudien

Wird der Mensch in wenigen Jahren von der Technik vollständig ersetzt? Was geschieht, wenn die künstliche Intelligenz wahres Bewusstsein erfährt? Was haben die jahrtausendealten ägyptischen Hochkulturen mit der heutigen Entwicklung zu tun? Gibt es einen übergeordneten Plan, die Menschheit auszurotten oder wird die Zukunft golden? Die technische Entwicklung steht an einem entscheidenden Punkt: Vor uns liegt eine Explosion aller Entwicklungsbereiche, die unser Leben auf unvorstellbare Weise verändern kann.

Demokratie und Wohlstand, ein längeres Leben, mehr Gleichberechtigung und Bildung: Der Kapitalismus hat viel Positives bewirkt. Zugleich ruiniert er jedoch Klima und Umwelt, sodass die Menschheit nun existenziell gefährdet ist. "Grünes Wachstum" soll die Rettung sein, aber Wirtschaftsexpertin und Bestsellerautorin Ulrike Herrmann hält dagegen: Verständlich und messerscharf erklärt sie in ihrem neuen Hörbuch, warum wir stattdessen "grünes Schrumpfen" brauchen. Die Klimakrise verschärft sich täglich, aber konkret ändert sich fast nichts.

What leads to political turbulence and social breakdown? How do elites maintain their dominant position? And why do ruling classes sometimes suddenly lose their grip on power? For decades, complexity scientist Peter Turchin has been studying world history like no one else. Assembling vast databases mined from 10,000 years of human activity, and then developing new models, he has transformed the way we learn from the past. End Times is the result: a ground-breaking account of how society works.

“Peter Turchin brings science to history. Some like it and some prefer their history plain. But everyone needs to pay attention to the well-informed, convincing and terrifying analysis in this book.” —Angus Deaton, winner of the Nobel Prize in Economics From the pioneering co-founder of...

Das Hörbuch enthält die Essenz der Lebenserfahrung und über 40-jährigen Arbeit der beiden Autoren an einer neuen menschlichen Grundlage für eine Kultur des Friedens. Die beiden Autoren zielen nicht darauf ab, ein brüchiges System zu reparieren. Sie entflechten den Bereich von Liebe und Sexualität aus dem kapitalistischen Denksystem, in dem alles auf einen Warenwert reduziert und zu einem Bedürfnis erniedrigt worden ist, das ab jetzt befriedigt werden muss.

Wer die Welt gestalten will, muss über Macht sprechen: Aufruf für ein neues Politikverständnis. Klima-Krise, Krieg, Rechtspopulismus – es ist anstrengend geworden, sich mit Politik zu beschäftigen. Die politischen Herausforderungen auf nationaler und internationaler Ebene sind so zahlreich, dass konstruktive Lösungen aus dem Blick geraten. Denn auf die Aggressionen Russlands und Chinas findet der Westen keine langfristigen Antworten, die Klima-Krise verschärft sich, und die alte internationale Ordnung insgesamt weist immer mehr Risse auf.

According to even the most conservative estimates, China will overtake the United States as the world's largest economy by 2027 and will ascend to the position of world economic leader by 2050. But the full repercussions of China's ascendancy-for itself and the rest of the globe-have been surprisingly little explained or understood.

Coming home from the war in Iraq, US Army private Roy Scranton thought he'd left the world of strife behind. Then he watched as new calamities struck America, heralding a threat far more dangerous than ISIS or al-Qaeda: Hurricane Katrina, Superstorm Sandy, megadrought - the shock and awe of global warming. Our world is changing. Rising seas, spiking temperatures, and extreme weather imperil global infrastructure, crops, and water supplies. Conflict, famine, plagues, and riots menace from every quarter.

A Fortune magazine journalist draws on his expertise and extensive contacts among the companies and scientists at the forefront of artificial intelligence to offer dramatic predictions of AI’s impact over the next decade, from reshaping our economy and the way we work, learn, and create to...

In contrast to climate doomer narratives with little hope of stopping global emissions or the deliberate action of climate deniers, we will explore how far we have moved to a zero-emission future that turns geopolitics on its head. Local energy takes back sovereignty and control from fossil fuel-rich countries and from corporations to individuals.

As the shockwaves of COVID-19 continue to spread, and as the smoke clears from a year of anger and unrest, many people feel forlorn about the future. In End State, James Plunkett argues that this can be a moment not of despair, but of historic opportunity - a chance to rethink, renew and reform some of the most fundamental ways we organise society. In much the same way as societies emerged stronger from crises in the past - building the state as we know it today - we, too, can build a happier future.

In The End of Life as We Know It, best-selling author Michael Guillen takes a penetrating look at how the scientific community is pushing the boundaries of morality. The End of Life as We Know It takes us into laboratories and boardrooms where these troubling advances are taking place and asks the question no scientists seem to be asking: What does this mean for the future of humanity? 

What if it were easy to end scarcity now and forever? To stop chasing money--stop living for the money without having to give anything up? And if the solution had nothing to do with politics or social issues? During these uncertain times, most are concerned with the growing instability as we are at the threshold of massive disruptions affecting us all.

In fifty compelling essays, including entries on mega-tsunamis, a new ice-age, a giant meteor strike, nuclear holocaust and nanotechnology running amok, Doomsday depicts the possible scenarios of annihilation to come and assesses our chances of survival, if any.

The mainstream are mesmerised by intellectual tampering. The populace are so distracted by the shiny butterflies of popular discourse that they oversimplify everything, blame the wrong systems, and blindly enrich the very ones who subjugate them. You can bet your reputation and retirement that the collapse of the American Empire—in all its forms—is near.

The Book of Revelation, the Maya, Nostradamus - humans have speculated about the end since, well, the beginning. In this book, we look at several “end of the world” scenarios - or at least, things that could make human life really difficult.
