Listen to Professor Acemoglu as he challenges the conventional wisdom that technological change automatically leads to progress for all. He encourages us to rethink the impact of technology, urging critical reassessment of the dominant narratives we often take for granted. In a world full of misconceptions, it's vital to have voices like his guiding us toward a more nuanced understanding of technology's role in shaping society. #Technology #Progress #Innovation #DaronAcemoglu #CriticalThinking #TechForGood

This is a portrait of Ulziy Sandag, 80, one of only 282 Dukha people. The Dukha, Mongolia's only Indigenous reindeer herders, live in remote taiga forests bordering the Tuva Republic in Siberia. The Dukha speak a variety of Tuvan, part of the Siberian Turkic language family. With 14 children, over 60 grandchildren, and numerous great-grandchildren, Ulziy is the progenitor of more than half the Dukha population. Ulziy values humanity above all: "I wish all people of the world to live in peace and harmony!" This image is part of the World in Faces photo project by Alexander Khimushin. By publishing these images, UNESCO celebrates the International Decade of Indigenous Languages 2022-2032, fostering a global community around Indigenous and traditional Peoples and their languages. #IndigenousPeoples #Indigenous #Mongolia #UNESCO #WeAreIndigenous
