In an ideal world but this one isn’t and even if it were the purpose of life is living not keeping up with a endless rat race of employability in a world that doesn’t know when to slow down.
Leaving people behind is problematic because not everyone can keep up or has the time and means to do so. Should a single mother be expected to put in hours every week learning some crap on top of working and raising kids or can that person just breathe and deal with their other problems? Full time house parent that loses a spouse and has to start working. Someone in a low income house that can’t afford professional courses/books or even has access to a computer.
You ever see those commercials about kids that can’t focus on school because they’re hungry? Yeah it’s not just them. When people are deprived of life essentials or dealing with personal problems studying is the last thing on their minds.
Here we have people in tech burning themselves out and we want to export that mentality to everywhere else instead of seeing it as a problem.

Ray is a trans humanist who believes we’re on the cusp of eternal life via the singularity. One of the things he is relying on is that people will keep up with technology through computer brain interfaces like Neural Link but faster.

It’s not here so I guess that’s not good. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ykY69lSpDdo https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ykY69lSpDdo Worth a watch…
