my question is for meredith. i would like to note -- would it be fair to say there are links between the rise of ai and the decline of humanity over the last 30 years? theo, what can we do in humanities to take on techno shovel is him -- techno chauvinism? it is about staying relevant. there is a certain kind of mentality that there is that reinforces and rewards techno chauvinism and is also why humanities are not attracted to policymakers. havep signs and economics had a bigger problem. meredith: that is a really good question what can we do to work against this? i think it starts with admitting that techno chauvinism exists and pushing back against it and saying that technical solutions are not necessarily superior to solutions from social sciences or humanities. each is valid. fundingto look at inequality. we have to look at funding for humanities and social sciences versus funding for data science, and we have to remedy that particular inequality because there is a lot of nonsense that gets funded and a lot

meredith >> my sense is that for xi jinping, he is not comfortable with the deal that has been floated by washington such far as such, he is not going to be making concessions to this state-led economic order that will be enough to appease president trump. so the deal is off for 2019, almost certainly we have a 65% probability that president trump will move forward with those tariffs on september 1st, which will harden both sides our take would be much more bearish than what they're saying >> let's get your thought on that when people say there is too much at stake here, common sense is going to prevail, they're going to get a deal. >> i think it's not the right question the question is what is the deal so if the deal is buying soybeans if the deal is around intellectual property protections, we may in fact get to some deal sooner rather than later. i'm not disputing meredith's overall timeframe, but if the deal fundamentally addresses the state support of the chinese economy, i think it's going to be a multi, multi-year process, and maybe a generational process. so what we might get t

my question is to meredith. i'd like to know if you think that -- would it be fair to say that there are causal links between the rise of ai and the decline of humanity in the last 30 years? and if so, what can we do in the humanities to take on techno chauvinism? my idea is that humanities doesn't question techno chauvinism. but there's a certain kind of mentality that really rewards tech n techno chauvinism. really have years of the makers. it's part of a bigger problem. but i wonder about solutions. what could those of us in humanities do. and i worry about techno chauvinism and look to fix it in some ways. >> thank you. that's a really good question. what can we do to work against this? i think it starts with admitting that techno chauvinism exists and pushing back against it. saying that technical solutions are not necessarily superior to, say, solutions from the social science or solutions from the humanities that each is valid. i think we have to look at funding inequality. you have to look at the funding
