Kwa chaka chachiwiri motsatizana, Doomsday Clock yakhazikitsidwa - ndi asayansi akufufuza kuopsa kwa Planet Earth chifukwa cha kugwiritsidwa ntchito kwa anthu ndi geopolitics yokhala ndi zida za nyukiliya - pa masekondi 90 mpaka pakati pausiku. M’mawu ena, khalani ndi mantha. Khalani ndi mantha kwambiri.
Zowopsazi zikuphatikiza kupanga zida za nyukiliya zomwe zikuchitika ndi mayiko akuluakulu ndi ang'onoang'ono, kuphatikiza nkhondo zakupha zapadziko lonse lapansi - ku Ukraine, Palestine ndi kwina - komanso kuthekera kokulirapo kwakuti atha kupita ku zida za nyukiliya. Mwa kuyankhula kwina, kuganiza pamodzi kwa chitukuko cha anthu kumakhalabe mumkhalidwe wa ife motsutsana ndi iwo. Chimodzi mwazinthu zodabwitsa kwambiri pa izi zomwe Bulletin idatchula chinali chakuti luntha lochita kupanga layamba kulamulira tsogolo lathu:
"Magwiritsidwe ankhondo a AI akuchulukirachulukira. Kugwiritsa ntchito kwambiri AI kumachitika kale munzeru, kuyang'anira, kuzindikira, kuyerekezera, ndi maphunziro. Zodetsa nkhawa kwambiri ndi zida zakupha zodziyimira pawokha, zomwe zimazindikira ndikuwononga zomwe anthu akufuna popanda kulowererapo kwa anthu. Zosankha zoyika AI kuyang'anira machitidwe ofunikira - makamaka zida zanyukiliya - zitha kuwopseza anthu. "
Ndigwirizane nane pamene ndikumasula kukuwa kwa mwana wa mantha ndi kusakhulupirira.
Ndipo zowonadi izi zonse zikuphatikizidwa ndi kugwa kwanyengo komwe kukuchitika padziko lapansi. Monga momwe Bulletin inanenera, chaka cha 2023 chinali chaka chotentha kwambiri chomwe chinalembedwapo, mpweya wowonjezera kutentha ukukwerabe, madzi oundana akusungunukabe ku Antarctica ndi . . . uh, sitikuthana ndi izi ndi mphamvu iliyonse. Mukudziwa, tidakali otanganidwa kwambiri kumenya nkhondo ndi kudyera masuku pamutu zomwe zatsala padziko lapansi.
Umu ndi momwe chitukuko cha anthu chadzipangira - ndipo palibe chomwe chingasinthe, chabwino? Izi zikuwoneka ngati malingaliro a ambiri atolankhani, omwe makamaka amagwirizana ndi nkhani zomwe zimatibweretsera ife mu shrug wamba. Kugwa kwanyengo? Nkhondo ya nyukiliya ndi kuwonongedwa kwa dziko lonse? Ndizovuta kwambiri kulemba. Tiyeni, tili ndi chisankho chikubwera. Ife vs. iwo!
Izi, mulimonse, ndi zomwe zidandichitikira nditawerenga nkhani mu Washington Post tsiku lina, lomwe linapitirizabe kuyesera kunena kuti dziko likugwa mu zomwe amazitcha "mafuko," ndiko kuti, kumanzere-vs.-rightism, ndi mbali zonse ziwiri zomwe zimagwirizana ndi kulondola kwawo komanso mofanana ndi anyamata ena. Mbali zonse ziwiri - mukumvetsa? Pamene makampani ofalitsa nkhani akutipatsa ife ndale motere, amawonetsa "zolinga" zake (zapakati) zomwe, monga momwe zimakhudzidwira, ndi zenizeni osati zomwe ziyenera kufufuzidwa mozama.
Vuto, malinga ndi kusanthula kwapakati, ndilakuti dziko likuchulukirachulukira pazandale komanso pachikhalidwe. Kumbali imodzi muli a Trump ndi MAGA Republican. Kumbali inayi, muli ndi othandizira a Bernie Sanders. Zowopsa kwambiri! Dziko la USA silinagawikepo motere, nkhaniyo imati, zikuoneka kuti ikulephera kukumbukira ukapolo, Jim Crow lynchings, mabafa olekanitsidwa ndi mitundu ndi zina zotero.
Chomwe chinandidetsa nkhawa kwambiri pa nkhaniyi, komabe, chinali kukopa kwake asayansi angapo a chikhalidwe cha anthu omwe anatifotokozera za chisinthiko. Pamene, inde, anthu anaphunzira kugwirira ntchito pamodzi kwa zaka zikwi zambiri ndipo anapanga midzi yodzichirikiza, aka, mafuko, "chisinthiko cha mgwirizano chinafuna udani wamagulu," malinga ndi katswiri wa chikhalidwe cha anthu ku Yale. Mwa kuyankhula kwina, sipangakhale "ife" popanda "iwo" obisala mozungulira - osati mosiyana ndi ife koma zowopsya, zowopseza komanso mosakayika zoipa.
Ngakhale kuti nkhani ya Post inalibe kugwirizana kulikonse ndi Bulletin of the Atomic Scientists ndi kuneneratu kwake kwapadziko lonse kwa mphindi 90 mpaka pakati pausiku, ndinadzimva kukhala wosayanjanitsika nayo komabe, chifukwa inakhalabe mwakachetechete ku us-vs.- malingaliro awo omwe amapangitsa kuganiza pamodzi kwa anthu ndipo, Mulungu wanga, mgwirizano wapadziko lonse lapansi kukhala nthabwala yonyoza. Izo sizichitika. Nkhondo ndi yosapeŵeka. Momwemonso bajeti yathu yankhondo ya madola mabiliyoni ambiri. Mafunso aliwonse?
Funso langa lalikulu ndi ili: Kodi mungatani kuti mugwedezeke pa Doomsday Clock, pakusapeŵeka kwa nyengo yomwe ikubwera, pakukula kwa nukes ndi kutsimikizika kwakukulu kwa nkhondo ya nyukiliya. . . ngati palibe kusintha?
Ndife okhoza kuganiza zazikulu kuposa izi! Ndiwo uthenga wotsiriza wa Atomic Scientists, ndipo kuti nditsimikizire ndikutembenukirako World Beyond War, zomwe zimapanga mfundo yakuti chiyambi chenicheni cha chisinthiko ndicho kukula kwa malingaliro athu kuti agwirizane ndi zenizeni zowonjezereka za mgwirizano, kugwirizana ndi kumvetsetsa. Ndipo osati zokhazo, kupha anthu anzathu si zotsatira zosavuta za zomwe DNA yathu imatiuza kuti tichite koma kulengedwa kwa ndale kwa zaka zikwi zingapo zapitazi zomwe ziri kanthu koma kuvomerezedwa konsekonse.
“Malinga ndi nthano, nkhondo ndi 'yachilengedwe,'” a World Beyond War essay ikunena. "Komabe kuwongolera kwakukulu kumafunika kukonzekeretsa anthu ambiri kumenya nawo nkhondo, ndipo kuzunzika kwakukulu kwamalingaliro kumakhala kofala pakati pa omwe atenga nawo mbali. . . .
“. . . (Ife) tifunika kumvetsetsa nkhondo monga chikhalidwe cha chikhalidwe chomwe chilipo ndikusiya kulingalira ngati chinthu chomwe tapatsidwa ndi mphamvu zomwe sitingathe kuzilamulira. . . .M’chenicheni, nkhondo siifunikira pa moyo winawake kapena mkhalidwe wamoyo wina chifukwa chakuti moyo uliwonse ukhoza kusinthidwa, chifukwa chakuti zizoloŵezi zosakhazikika ziyenera kutha ndi tanthauzo lankhondo kapena popanda nkhondo, ndi chifukwa chakuti nkhondo kwenikweni imasaukitsa anthu amene amaigwiritsira ntchito.”
M'mawu ena, nkhondo sinayambike chifukwa cha chisinthiko koma ndi nkhondo yoopsa zosasinthika mbali ya yemwe ife tiri. Umunthu "unasintha ndi zizolowezi za mgwirizano ndi kudzipereka," ndipo potero adapanga madera olumikizana komanso othandizirana. Ndipo inde, mudzi uliwonse uli ndi malire, kupitirira zomwe sizikudziwika. Koma pamene tikukumana ndi zosadziwika, sitiyenera kuziwona, mophweka, ngati "mdani," koma monga gawo la gulu lalikulu, lomwe limafuna kumvetsetsa kwakukulu. Kufunika kwathu kumvetsetsa sikutha.
