Dear Torsten
I found your essay interesting and well written. The model you present is very illustrative. I was unaware of the 4th industrial revolution, although I understand that automatization, networking and artificial intelligence is the "vogue", I have some misgivings about the realization of this project.
During reading, I found something that it was not clear for me. You say:
I strongly believed that humanity will steer the future according to these principles.
What principles do you mean? I read some lines before this one but I couldn't get those principles. Could you please explicitly mention such principles.
According to your model, you also find that evolution will never end and because of this, no final state can be achieved. I do agree that humans are always looking for innovation but I do think there are limits to understanding and someday we will reach this limits. So, at some point in the future, we will reach a stable state. For instance, electronics is now reaching the limit of miniaturization. If we can not develop spintronics or room temperature superconductors in the following two or three decades, electronics will reach a state of stagnation for several decades.
You also say that there is no general plan for the future of humanity but we all together will do it.
In my view, some countries have a plan for the future. We have seen this in universal history. Rome had a plan, the Mongol empire, the british empire and more recently the Americans and Chinese have a plan. And because of this, they need to steer the future. I briefly discuss about this in my essay. I'll be glad if you could take at look at it and leave some comments. I hope you like it.
Good luck in the contest!
Best Regards
Israel
