I am looking forward to it. People will finally stop up each other in the name of meritocracy, and the society will equalize, because we will collectively recognize no one is really better and more deserving.
The industrial revolution did this with physical strength and fitness, and the recognition that muscle doesn't really matter anymore lead to general decrease in violence. In a similar way, we will stop mythologizing intelligence or creativity.
- discreteevent 4y agoA lot of people at the top are those who are the most manipulative which is a very restricted form of intelligence. General intelligence was not a barrier for them up to now. Those kinds of people will continue not to share.
- naasking 4y agoYour implications of the effects of the industrial revolution are tenuous at best, and that's being generous. People are great at rationalizing why some people deserve more than others. Your perfectly equal society will probably never happen.
