Do Humankind's Best Days Lie Ahead?: The Munk Debates by Matt Ridley, Alain de Botton, Steven Pinker
3.0
It's a collection of a transcript of the Munk debate and pre-interview conducted on the topic " Do humankind best days lie ahead?".
Expected at least either rationale or reasonable answer since bright minds involved in the debate but ended up with utter disappointment when the entire debate was carried away by the childish behavior of the panelist.
The invited panelists are sailors of different seas so debate became disastrous. A war between the scientific approach and the humanist approach corrupted the objective and lead to a defensive and offensive tantrum. Both sides have shared mindboggling views which have nothing to do with the topic.
The answer is still unclear. Maybe because there is no definitive answer to a simple question tackled by the complex minds of humans.
