Without a ‘world government’ technology will destroy us, says Stephen Hawking
'This aggression may destroy us all by nuclear or biological war. We need to control this inherited instinct by our logic and reason'
Mr Hawking has previously said that AI could grow so powerful it would be capable of killing us entirely unintentionally Getty
Stephen Hawking has warned that technology needs to be controlled in order to prevent it from destroying the human race.
The world-renowned physicist, who has spoken out about the dangers of artificial intelligence in the past, believes we need to establish a way of identifying threats quickly, before they have a chance to escalate.
“Since civilisation began, aggression has been useful inasmuch as it has definite survival advantages,” he told The Times. 
“It is hard-wired into our genes by Darwinian evolution. Now, however, technology has advanced at such a pace that this aggression may destroy us all by nuclear or biological war. We need to control this inherited instinct by our logic and reason.” Read More:

I had the idea it was pollution and the lack of an ozone layer (global warming) that would be the end of civilization but I am guessing, only guessing mind you, that Stephen Hawking may be on to something here.

Pretty sure more people would be interested in keeping Hawking alive than your tubby ass.
