Let’s be real: in the long run, there’s nothing that humans can do that machines can’t do better. Nothing. So what is going to happen? Well, if AI is doing all the thinking work, there’s no need for an education. Education is already in free fall due to it being taken over by people who just want to maximize profits. This will make the problem worse. And technology continues to isolate us and act as a conduit for whatever ideas spread the fastest- that means anything that triggers your amygdala. A population with no jobs and no education and social connections is an angry and ignorant one. That means conservatism and conflict. Liberalism is the politics of trust. Conservatism is the politics of fear. And ignorant, isolated people are easy to manipulate. And we in the USA live in a country flooded with guns. The end of result of all that, in the past, has always been war. Maybe we’ll get lucky. I doubt it. There’s dry tinder piled up everywhere, and we are playing with matches. It’s not gonna all fall apart this year. But, in 20, 30 years, with climate change and mass migration thrown into the mix, things are going to get bad.
