I'm American but moved to Europe years ago where I am definitely happier. I like the superstitious idea that the American continent is cursed from the deaths of 55 million native Americans since the discovery of the western hemisphere. I mean, I do t believe it but it does make a good story.
- inigyou 2mo agoBut how can you stand the lack of innovation?
- jjulius 2mo agoWhy do we always need to be innovating? What's wrong with being content with what is?
- inigyou 2mo agoChina will beat us to AI.
- w4yai 2mo agoSo ? What did you expect, you think USA will remain number one for ever ?
- jjulius 2mo agoThere is far more to the world than AI.
- serf 2mo agoYeah, and the hope is that AI will accelerate all of that, too.
- jjulius 2mo agoAI will accelerate everything? Does everything need to be accelerated? If so, why does everything need to move faster?
- inigyou 2mo agoBecause the world is accelerating and we need to keep up.
- jjulius 2mo agoWho is "we"? What of the people who are already very comfortable and happy living humble lives without keeping up with the current cutting edge of technology? The person content to sit on the shore and fish at a slow pace? To wander off into the woods and read a book for a few days? Must they "accelerate" and "keep up"? Do they truly suffer if they don't? If they're happy doing so now, will they be unhappy in the future if they continue down their chosen paths?

- inigyou 2mo agoIt all becomes irrelevant if Europe slips into the dark ages.
- brainwad 2mo agoWell, for one, the world changes around us in ways that necessitate innovation. But even if it didn't, if life can be better, why wouldn't you want that?
- jjulius 2mo agoI never said it's wrong to want life to be better. Life is life. If someone finds enjoyment in a different way or pace of life, that's fine. The world's gonna do what the world's gonna do - some people want to be at the forefront, while others want to go with the flow or chill out. That's okay. :)

- LastTrain 2mo agoYou forgot the /s, I hope.
- zabzonk 2mo agoinnovation in what areas are you talking about?
- roggenilsson 2mo agoThis is the funniest comment I have ever read on this website
- squigz 2mo agoIt's one of those things that I'm really hoping is sarcastic/trolling but I've been here long enough to know it likely isn't.
- nozzlegear 2mo agoI'm like 95% sure this person is being sarcastic based on their comment history.
- MyHonestOpinon 2mo agoSure, horrible things happened. But a big part of those deaths was the new diseases that people had no developed immunity to. It was bound to happen sooner or later.
- comrade1234 2mo agoIt's not a literal concept.
