In this weekend’s Financial Times, Yuval pauses to consider the measures some governments may introduce to deal with the coronavirus epidemic, and their longer-term implications:
“You could, of course, make the case for biometric surveillance as a temporary measure taken during a state of emergency. It would go away once the emergency is over. But temporary measures have a nasty habit of outlasting emergencies, especially as there is always a new emergency lurking on the horizon.
Humanity needs to make a choice. Will we travel down the route of disunity, or will we adopt the path of global solidarity? If we choose disunity, this will not only prolong the crisis, but will probably result in even worse catastrophes in the future. If we choose global solidarity, it will be a victory not only against the coronavirus, but against all future epidemics and crises that might assail humankind in the 21st century.”

Το έχουμε ξαναδεί το έργο με τρομοκράτες, με την λεγομένη οικονομική κρίση, κλπ, κλπ.
