It is becoming common knowledge that the three major threats to our survival as humans are the ecological crisis, the uncontrolled development of artificial intelligence, and the danger of military self-destruction.
Following the news about these threats, I soon noticed that the same word recurs in how our media report on them: containment. While the threats are accepted as facts of our lives, the main worry is that, when they explode into an actual crisis, they will become uncontainable.
