HAIFA, Israel - Oct. 1, 2024 - PRLog -- A reformist study, "Helpless Earth: Reckless Science" by Yuval Kanev, sharply criticizes conventional presuppositions, policies, and objectives of contemporary hard scientists.
The concise investigation probes scores of neglected issues surrounding continuous scientific advancements irrespective of increasing global hazards.
This revisionist work covers key threats to humanity posed by major achievements in science and technology since the rise of the Industrial Revolution.
Kanev's comprehensive inquiry lists dozens of existential risk scenarios triggered by fossil fuel engines, nuclear devices, nano robots, synthetic chemicals, cyber networks, or engineered viruses, to mention some examples.
Publicly published earlier this year, the 270-page book exposes the sobering reality of key historical breakthroughs that threaten current global safety based on hosts of authorities including the Doomsday Clock website.
Given the polarized pros and cons of modern scientific accomplishments, this volume censures entrenched scientific establishments for unethically risking human society, minimizing their accountability, skirting the most crucial survival issues, and cultivating their public image.
The book, supported by many clear scholarly sources and graphical demonstrations, is the latest addition to the author's repertoire, and continues with his unique form of critique against dominant expert elites.
The author says:
"Our celebrated democratic institutions tackle the issue of hazardous science with a deafening silence. There is no such issue!"
"Helpless Earth: Reckless Science" in ebook, paperback, and hardcover format is offered on Amazon store.
A PDF version is now available upon request.
