Can Humanity Grow Up？（结束）

人类能长大吗？（结束）

人类的未来

Whether humanity survives this critical period is ultimately up to us. Because the greatest risks are not from nature, but from our own action, we can pull back from the brink if we choose. We can take a more mature attitude to our increasing interconnection and technological progress, setting aside some fraction of the benefits they bring to guard against the associated risks. Occasionally stepping back to adopt the perspective of humanity will let us see our predicament more clearly, providing the vision we need to guide us through.

人类在这个危机时期是否能够幸存取决于我们。因为最大的危险不是来自自然，而是我们自己的行为，如果我们愿意，我们能悬崖勒马。我们可以用更成熟的态度应对我们日益增长的相互联系和技术进程，搁置少量技术带来的好处，以防范它们带来的风险。偶尔退一步，从人类的视角看问题，可以让我们更清楚地看到我们所处的危机，同时也能提供一个我们能找到解决问题的思路。
