@ben This is a symptom of the species and technology. I think we are in deep shit. Think in terms of the Fermi Paradox and The Great Filter. We are too selfish as a species, in specific terms much more WE>ME is needed, not ME>WE. We’re on a downward slide taking the planet with us and while I’m bitching, Capitalism is not going to carry us forward into an automated, AI world. Imo, look ahead to a big unpleasant reset.
