Its ok for you to be enthusiastic! Its natural to want to witness the kind of thing you are saying. I think you are maybe operating out of unconscious desperation though; a loneliness that is really driving this for you, akin to hoping for a nearby earth-like planet.
There isn't a lot else in our world that has this seemingly pure and transcendent promise. It allows you to be brave and accepting about something where everone else is fearful. It allows a future that isnt just new iPhone models and SaaS products. You're reactions and fighting people about this stuff is understandable, but you have to make sure you are grounded. Find more local things to grab onto for hope and enthusiasm, this path will not bring you the stuff you are hoping for, but life is long :)
- kilgnad 4y agoUh. No. I don't. I'm not enthusiastic. I don't want ai to take over my job. I don't want any of this to happen. I'm also not fighting people. Just disagreeing. Big difference.
- beepbooptheory 4y agoJust remember to breath. Try to spend some time every once in a while stepping back, listening to experts, and reviewing your assumptions. The sense of urgency or passion you feel is mostly just coming from the way we are crowdsourced to hype things up for a profit-seeking market. A year from now you will undoubtedly feel silly feeling and saying the things you are now, trust me. It's more just the way discourse and social media work--it makes you feel like there is a crusade worthy of your time every other day, but its always a trick. No worries, we have all been there!
- kilgnad 4y agoawwww thanks buddy! I'm 100% better now after that comment. Bye bye now.
