Izithende ze-Humanity Achilles: izingozi ezingaba khona esibhekana nazo

Eminyakeni eyizigidi eziyisi-6 edlule kwakuyilapho isayensi yesimanje ikholelwa ukuthi abantu bokuqala bahamba emhlabeni. Nakuba okhokho bethu baqala ukuphila endaweni ethile ngaleso sikhathi, izinhlobo zesimanje zabantu sezineminyaka eyizi-200,000 kuphela impucuko yabo yaba yiminyaka eyizi-6,000 nje edlule.

Ungacabanga okwesikhashana ukuthi wawungumuntu wokugcina emhlabeni? Kunzima ukulinganisa noma ukubona, kodwa ngaphakathi kwendawo okungenzeka. Umhlaba ube nezimpi, izifo eziwumshayabhuqe, izifo eziwumshayabhuqe kanye nezinhlekelele zemvelo zonke eziye zabulala abantu abaningi ngokwazo. Uma kucatshangelwa lokhu, nokulindela ukuphindaphindwa kwale micimbi ngokuzayo, kungaba ukuqagela okunengqondo kuphela.

Yiziphi Izingozi Isintu Esibhekana Nazo?

Izingozi ezikhona (okungukuthi, izingozi ezisongela ukuphila komuntu) zingalinganiswa ngobubanzi nangobukhulu. Ububanzi yinani labantu abangase bathinteke, futhi ukuqina ubukhulu bengozi ebangelwayo. Olunye uhlangothi lwalesi simo ukuqiniseka nokuqonda esinakho ngezingozi. Isibonelo, nakuba sazi kancane mayelana nempi yenuzi kanye nemiphumela yayo, okwamanje asikaze sephule phezulu ekuqondeni imithelela eyingozi ye-Artificial Intelligence.

Njengoba kunje, izimpi, izintaba-mlilo ezinkulu, ukuguquka kwesimo sezulu, izifo eziwubhadane zomhlaba wonke, ama-asteroid, ubuhlakani bokwenziwa, kanye nokuwa kwesistimu yomhlaba kunamandla amakhulu okuqeda isintu njengoba sazi ngezingozi ezine eziphezulu, ngokochwepheshe abaningi, okuyizifo eziwubhadane zomhlaba wonke, izinhlekelele zebhayoloji yokwenziwa, izimpi zenuzi, nobuhlakani bokwenziwa.
