Ainda
sobre o artigo do comentador e jornalista (ou ex-jornalista) João Miguel
Tavares comentado no link acima, onde entre outras coisas, ele escreveu que
"Nunca, em tempo algum, houve tão pouca violência no mundo", convém
ter presente que há quem tenha uma opinião bem diferente, vide excerto
abaixo:
"the total number of
global-scale catastrophe scenarios has significantly risen since 1945...Today
the list of existing and emerging threats includes ..designer pathogens,
atomically precise 3D printers, autonomous nanobots, stratospheric
geoengineering...to name just a few" de artigo já mencionado

e principalmente o artigo intitulado "The Vulnerable
World Hypothesis" do Director do Instituto para o Futuro da
Humanidade, na Universidade de Oxford:
“in the last two centuries per
capita income, standards of living, and life expectancy have also risen. What
we haven’t extracted, so far, is a black ball: a technology that invariably or
by default destroys the civilization that invents it. The reason is not that we
have been particularly careful or wise in our technology policy. We have
just been lucky…” https://www.nickbostrom.com/papers/vulnerable.pdf
