The Coming Revolution of Animal Rights
Two technological revolutions drove human beings to become the dominant species on this planet. The Agricultural Revolution gave us dominion over the biology of Earth. The Industrial Revolution gave us dominion over its physics. Now, powered by breakthroughs in our understanding of intelligence, a third revolution may be imminent. It could solve problems that once seemed impossible, like climate change and war. It could trigger transformations in technology that allow us to cure intractable diseases and send humanity to the stars. It could exponentially increase the wisdom of every human being on earth.
