Should we wor­ry about chat­bots be­com­ing ‘sen­tient’?

The sys­tem is loaded against the cli­mate and the en­vi­ron­ment.

Set­ting ‘net-zero’ goals will not help us rein in glob­al warm­ing.

En­vi­ron­men­tal dam­age can be avert­ed only if so­lar en­er­gy pro­duc­tion is ex­pand­ed sus­tain­ably.

We should cel­e­brate, not fear, the grow­ing cul­tur­al rich­ness of our so­ci­eties.

It is not the Egypt­ian rev­o­lu­tion that failed, but the Egypt­ian state.

An­cient Egyp­tians built a state that sur­vived for mil­len­nia. What was be­hind this suc­cess and what can we learn from it?

The de­struc­tion caused by au­toma­tion has al­ready start­ed to out­weigh its con­struc­tive po­ten­tial.

Can the slow dis­in­te­gra­tion of the Bel­gian state be re­versed or is this an­oth­er death knell for the coun­try?

The idea that bil­lion­aires ‘de­serve’ their vast for­tunes is a ridicu­lous and de­struc­tive myth.
