Q&@
SO IN THE STRUGGLE
AGAINST NATURAL CALAMITIES SUCH AS AIDS AND EBOLA,
THE SCALES ARE TIPPING IN HUMANITY'S FAVOUR!
But what about the dangers inherent in human nature itself?
Biotechnology enables us to defeat bacteria and viruses, but it simultaneously turns humans themselves
into an unprecedented threat. The same tools that enable doctors to quickly identify and cure new illnesses
may also enable armies and terrorists to engineer even more terrible diseases and doomsday pathogens......
It is therefore likely that major epidemics will continue te endanger human kind in the future only if humankind
itself creates them, in the service of some ruthless ideology! The era when humankind stood helpless before
natural epidemics is probably over. But we may come to miss it, 'breaking the Law of the Jungle?!
The third piece of Good News is that wars too are disappearing! Throughout history most humans took war
for granted, whereas peace was a temporary and precarious state 'of bliss'? International relations were
governed by the Law of the Jungle, according to which even if two polities lived in peace, war always remained
an option! For example, even though Germany & France were at peace n 1913, everybody knew that they might
be at each other's throats in 1914. Whenever politicians, generals, business people & ordinary citizens made
plans for the future, they always left room for war! From the Stone Age to the age of steam, and from the Arctic
to the Sahara, every person on earth knew that at any moment the neighbours might invade their territory,
defeat their army, slaughter their people and occupy their land. Mor weet 't 'uit ervaring' ahw. uit '45,
