This is a quote from Yuval Noah Harari, one of the smartest people on planet Earth.
Maybe the most difficult part
of humanity having the power
to destroy our civilization is
the potential to destroy the
very meaning of humanity.
The technologies that we are
now developing threaten the
physical survival of trees and
of animals and of human
beings, but they also
potentially threaten the
mental, psychological,
philosophical survival of what
we used to mean by
humanity.
