Last Reddit post from Stephen Hawking warns that great technological advances can leave most people "miserably poor."

That technological automation might benefit humanity — or, if we're not careful, could instead send inequality skyrocketing and make life harder for the vast majority of the world's population.

We have two very different futures that we're presented with. Economic inequality is already at historic levels, we cannot let this problem intensify.

Thank you to those who understand how important this is and are helping to ensure the latter! Together, we can create this future.

Stephen Hawking: You Should Support Wealth Redistribution

YouTube (6 min)
Machines won't bring about the economic robot apocalypse -- but greedy humans will, according to physicist Stephen Hawking.

"We have the technology, so now it's just a matter of, what do we do with the wealth we're creating through the technology? And he's saying, if we have the technology and we don't do redistribution of wealth, that's just dangerous."

This is Stephen Hawking's Last Inspiring Message to Humanity

Inspiring three minute video by Stephen Hawking

"I want to share my excitement and enthusiasm about this quest.
So remember to look up at the stars and not down at your feet.
Try to make sense of what you see and wonder about what makes the universe exist.
Be curious. And however difficult life may seem, there is always something you can do and succeed at.
It matters that you don't just give up.
While there is life, there is hope."

Stephen Hawking: Automation and AI Are Going to Decimate Middle Class Jobs

"This is the most dangerous time for our planet."

Automation will, “in turn will accelerate the already widening economic inequality around the world,” Hawking wrote. “The internet and the platforms that it makes possible allow very small groups of individuals to make enormous profits while employing very few people. This is inevitable, it is progress, but it is also socially destructive.”

We need to come together and use technology as a force for good.
