Chicken or Egg first!

        Do you think stock market today drive the news or is it the news driving the stock market? Tricky question right...it happened to be one of the best articles I read in economic times. The answer was as simple as stock markets (or rather equity markets) drive the  news and not the other way round.
       However tricky it may sound, imagine if we were driven by news? Just the sheer news on the possible fluctuation of the market due to a major crisis could have brought down the stocks for that day. Wouldn't that call for being grateful that human minds are not that volatile. Thank God.

       At least the dilemma of which drives the other between stock markets and the news is resolved. But aren't we as humans faltering again in the field of AI (Artificial Intelligence)? Today we have started building robots as an experiment and to aid our routine tasks. Gradually it would mean we will be more dependent on it. Finally we would see a day where AI might rules us(humans). If at all, you are thinking how is it related to the above topic. Let me explain it. After couple of decades from the time AI is in full flow, we will end up in the situation of which came first - Humans or AI? Would you like to be in such a situation? Hopefully not.
       In our quest to conquer the nature, I think we are falling into a trap of becoming extinct. We are digging our own graveyards. The limit or boundary of this nature is not to be crossed. But we are. Hope we realize it sooner than later. In order to avoid our own pitfall, we need not look for external planet for our future home.
