Robert Fox
The Raging Storm, the Storming Rage, What Do We Do Next?

Monday 28.10.2024

Summary

The conflicts in Europe, the Middle East, in Africa, and parts of Asia raise questions about the rules that govern the world’s problems. The UN is increasingly called into question, but what could be done to improve and reform the organisation? How do we face the long term problems of climate, demographic shifts, and governance? With AI we are on the threshold of a major development in human social activity–is it all gloom? What are our options?
