¿En qué mundo y con qué calidad, vivirán los hijos de esta generación?
In what world and with what quality will the children of this generation live?
Abstract (en)
We can affirm that the prophecies, although slowly, are being fulfilled given the potential for destruction that humanity generates every day. Apparently we are immersed in a revolution of knowledge and information, whose end is not in sight and as its growth and evolution its consequences are unpredictable. There is an imaginary that this revolution will lead humanity to lose control of powerful new forces and even reverse the benefit to humanity and unleash our own slavery and destruction. Indeed, more than the loss of our individual freedom, what we are putting the most at risk is our survival as a species, due to the high irreversible damage that we are inflicting on the environment. If we do not put a stop to this crazy race of self-destruction, turning forests into deserts, polluting rivers and oceans, destroying the ozone layer, extracting and depleting oil and coal among many other irreversible damages, we will not have a promising future.
Abstract (es)
Podemos afirmar que las profecías, aunque lentamente, se vienen cumpliendo dado el potencial de destrucción que cada día más genera la humanidad. Aparentemente nos encontramos inmersos en una revolución del conocimiento y la información, cuyo final no se vislumbra y en la medida de su crecimiento y evolución sus consecuencias son imprevisibles. Se tiene el imaginario que esta revolución llevará a la humanidad a perder el control de nuevas y potentes fuerzas e incluso invertir el beneficio a la humanidad y desencadenar nuestra propia esclavitud y destrucción. Realmente, más que la pérdida de nuestra libertad individual, lo que más estamos poniendo en riesgo es la supervivencia como especie, debido al alto daño irreversible que le estamos infligiendo al medio ambiente. Si no ponemos freno a esta loca carrera de autodestrucción, convirtiendo los bosques en desiertos, contaminando los ríos y océanos, destruyendo la capa de ozono, extrayendo y agotando el petróleo y carbón entre muchos otros daños irreversibles, no tendremos un futuro halagador.
