Can Data Science Replace Humanism and Solve the Problems of Strong AI, Free Will, and Self-Formation?

C

In order for data religion to replace humanism, it must solve the philosophical debates about the realization of strong artificial intelligence, free will, and self-formation, otherwise it will remain a mere paradigm.   According to Yuval Harari, religion is the reflection of superhuman laws in social structures and is an intersubjective reality that legitimizes human norms and values...

How do normal science and paradigms affect the nature of academic research and the motivation of researchers?

H

This article uses Thomas Kuhn’s The Structure of Scientific Revolutions to reflect on how normal science and paradigms determine the direction of scientific and academic research, and how they affect the puzzles faced by researchers and their motivation.   I found it an interesting read. It gave me a chance to reflect on some of the psychological backgrounds that I’ve been lost...

In ‘Brave New World’, scientific and technological advances threaten humanity, but can we preserve true happiness and dignity?

I

Aldous Huxley’s Brave New World is a novel that warns of a dystopian future in which science and mass production threaten human dignity and cause us to lose our intrinsic value through sensory pleasure. It raises concerns about the dangers of technological advancement in the modern world, the question of true happiness and ethics, and asks profound questions about the essential human values...

Richard Dawkins and Stephen Jay Gould: At the Crossroads of Evolutionary Theory, Which Way Should We Go?

R

Focusing on the evolutionary debate between Richard Dawkins and Stephen Jay Gould, this book explores how the opposing theories of natural selection and environmental adaptation have shaped modern evolutionary theory.

Can future technological advances have a positive impact on human happiness?

C

Yuval Harari’s Sapiens explores how future technological advances will affect human happiness, examining the potential for bionics, cyborgs, and non-organic engineering to improve our lives and the potential dangers they pose.   While “Sapiens” also explores what the end of Homo sapiens might look like, people have long imagined and predicted what the future might look like, but we...

Will artificial intelligence ever be able to completely replace human intelligence, or will we retain our unique qualities?

W

Based on Yuval Harari’s book Sapiens, this course explores the possibility of AI replacing human intelligence. We’ll analyze the debate over whether A.I. can have the same understanding and ethical judgment as humans, and look ahead to the future of human intelligence.   In Yuval Harari’s book Sapiens, he warns that the end of Homo sapiens is near, and one of the reasons is...

Will advances in intelligent design lead to polarization and inequality, and is equitable distribution possible in a capitalist system?

W

In Yuval Harari’s end-of-the-world scenario, intelligently designed technology could lead to a new evolution of humanity and extreme social inequality. It is worth discussing whether this technology can be equitably distributed within a capitalist system.   Yuval Harari, the author of Homo sapiens, described three scenarios in which humanity could be replaced by another species in the...

Just as Gregor Zamora was transformed into a bug, is today’s science and technology being marginalized by money?

J

Just as Gregor Sleeper was marginalized by his transformation into a worm in Kafka’s The Metamorphosis, we will examine the marginalization of non-monetized science and technology in modern society and discuss the need for institutional measures and awareness changes to solve this problem.   One morning, Gregor wakes up from a nightmare and realizes that he has turned into a large worm...

Can we avoid the extreme future of giving away all our personal information with the advancement of algorithms?

C

  Yuval Harari’s “Homo Deus” discusses the future implications of algorithmic advancements and the resulting surrender of personal information. As increasingly complex algorithms become more involved in our lives, we explore the possibility of a future where we unconsciously agree to provide information, and where disclosure becomes a given.   Introduction Yuval Harari’s...
