Brian Cox says his greatest fear for humanity is our own stupidity
Original: Prof Brian Cox: ‘My greatest fear for humanity is our own stupidity’
Physicist and broadcaster Professor Brian Cox has warned that his greatest fear for humanity is 'our own stupidity'. The remark, reported by The Telegraph, sees the science communicator reflect on the risks posed by human decision-making rather than external threats. His comments have drawn attention given his prominent public role in explaining science and his often optimistic views on progress and rationality.
Why now: A prominent scientist publicly voicing alarm about human irrationality is striking and widely shared commentary.
