AI can only strip meaning and value out of those parts of your life if you let it. If you made the meaning you derive from life very conditional upon factors outside your control, you were always sailing in rocky waters to begin with.
- s1artibartfast 3y agoI disagree on both counts. For the first, to deny that the world has changed is delusional. For the second, I think a life of such Stoicism or Lucretianism is not one to be desired. It precludes valuing anything outside yourself. Lucretius himself said one should not love other people for the very reasons you state, they might die or leave you. Is such self reliance more valuable than what one stands to lose? So what if one is sailing in rocky waters? You can still have important insights on what can be gained, lament the loss of your crew, and have opinions on the changing conditions of the sea.
