Why we need a civic CERN! – Superintelligence for the people | Verena Ringler | TEDxTUWien

What is the nature of our universe?, is what the world’s best physicists ask as CERN, a centre known for its gigantic particle collider underneath the city of Geneva, Switzerland. What if we invest as much curiosity and as many resources to also open a civic CERN? Where guardians and innovators of democracy ask: How to lead people, read nature, and fight over resources and change with words, not weapons?—On the road to net zero in Europe, all eyes are on humans, not tech.
