21 APR 2024 · “The moment of truth can no longer be postponed. At stake is our health, education, culture. Ultimately, the future of humankind and even of life on planet earth. Ken D Foster interviews Professor Mihai Nadin.
Professor Mihai Nadin, the esteemed Ashbel Smith Professor Emeritus at Univ of TX, Dallas, is respected for his advances in anticipatory and dynamic systems, human-computer and human-technology interaction, and more.
The author of more than 30 books and over 200 scientific and philosophical https://scholar.google.com/citations?user=sz6WPrcAAAAJ&hl=en, Nadin is credited with introducing concepts that opened new fields of inquiry: “semiotic machine,” “the civilization of illiteracy,” “anticipatory computing.”
His new book, https://www.amazon.com/Disrupt-Science-Matters-Mihai-Nadin/dp/3031439562/ref=sr_1_2?crid=7BGQDKNS4VHK&keywords=MIHAI+nadin&qid=1698865226&sprefix=mihai+nadin,aps,80&sr=8-2 warns of the dangers of “progress at any cost.” As a child in Romania, Dr. Nadin lost most of his family to the Holocaust, then survived as an academic thought-leader under communist tyranny, and ultimately came to the U.S. where he led research in the important new field of anticipatory computing.
Today, Professor Nadin is warning (as a science/tech insider) that we’re shackled to the “cult of machines” which threatens the very existence of humankind in the not so distant future.
