Das ist einer der letzten Sätze dieses Buches. Ob er so viel Wahrheit über den Sinn des Lebens beinhaltet ist wohl sehr subjektiver Natur. Doch er macht sehr klar, wie pessimistisch der Autor das Thema KI anleuchtet.
Viele seiner Bedenken sind meiner Meinung nach sehr sinnvoll und sollten durchaus die breitere Masse erreichen.
Dennoch: Dieses Buch ist sehr einseitig in seinen Prognosen und spricht in erster Linie über Gefahren, sehr wenig jedoch über Potenzial und potenzielle positive Einsatzfelder.
Mit dieser Information im Hinterkopf, dennoch lesenswert....more

This is a thorough meditation course for beginners and definitely very enjoyable for the advanced. With an interesting insight into yogic practices and many parallels into other cultures and religions in order to shine a light on the one thing, they all talk about in their different stories and imagery.

It promises a book about the movement that's already restoring our Planet and the Good in the World. And this book talks about this movement. Sadly it does the exact opposite for the first two thirds of the book. While being promised the solutions, we mainly read about the terror in the present and in history. All very interesting, heartfelt and touching. The organisations and people - the majority already well known - that are being mentioned in the last third of the book, simply don't do the promises in the earlier pages justice.
Again: This is mainly a book about the things that have gone wrong and it does provide hope and new perspectives. It's a good book. Just not what I thought it would be....more
