Hi, all. I'm nearly 14, and self-teaching physics and mathematics. One quote of Newton's really inspires me. It is the 'Shoulders of giants' quote, and even though it was just Newton taking a stab at Robert Hooke's short stature, it has meaning to me, and probably you guys, too. I want people to 'Stand on my shoulders' after I'm gone.
However, I'm afraid I won't live long enough to put any ideas out. I'm so scared that humanity will succumb to its challenges (WMD, climate change, resource scarcity, greed, ignorance, and overpopulation, to name a few.) and come to an end. I really want humanity to survive, but so many scientists say otherwise. There are so many people living on this planet with futures, including me. I want to live my life, and not see humanity come to a close.
Also, another thing I'm scared of is A.I. A ton of scientists and science enthusiasts, including me, think that advanced A.I. shouldn't come to be. It is just way too risky. Yet, so many companies are working on it.
I don't want to see any of this happen, nor do I think it should happen at all. I'm very concerned for the future.
