Will it do more good than harm? Will machine the creation of human intelligence be able to think feel and act like super human and outsmart humans.
They are no longer hypothetical questions but crucial issues confronting the world today. More particularly in the Post -truth world dominated and frustrated by the militarised,dehumanized and diseased mind of most of the fascist rulers all over the world.
Come to think of it, issues like, palestanians cry for recovery of their home land and Ukarine's helplessness in the face of Russian arrogance and folly, disturbs our mind and dim our hopes for the evolution of decent, well balanced international political and economic order.
More importantly the crass silence of the global south in not voicing the reasoned response and support for the cause of palestaneians is puzzling and frustrating.
The Middle East is sitting on volcanoes of prolonged war. The US which aids and abets Israel war machine to kill the innocent civilians does not have any moral right to police. It's blindfolded and bemused by the presence of a monster called Trump, and his anti immigrant labour policy and his crude plea for heightened protectionist tendancies which has made globalization as a mockery. At a time when developing south and emerging markets are willing to allow themselves to be raped given their urge to earn export, the world is getting deglobalized selectively to protect the industrial powers of the affluent bloc.
The general allegation that Japan in the distant past and china of more recent vintage have been consistently destroying the international trading world with its single minded drive towards Mercantilist conquest is now applicable to the U S,emerging as a rogue state. The US and many others in the global economy creak beneath hopeless burden of debts and deficits, vaulting inflation, escalated food inflation and all nations experience great supply shocks.
America's persistent deficits to leach away saving,drive up consumption and suck in imports. It took a long time to reduce interest rate as inflation was stubbornly refusing to fall and weakening dollar did not give much space through international Fischer effect.
The real cold war is between the U S and china and india is caught between devil and deep sea..
The leadership is keen to annex states under BJP rule by hook or crook and not worry much about belligerence of china and the series of insults and humiliation stemming from it.
There are signs that china is willing to listen to reason and use diplomacy to defuse tension and moderate US romance with india.It remains to be seen how far and hiw long china will play this hide and seek game.
