In a technical sense concept drift awareness is unlearning. I think I studied that in time series about twenty years ago. It's an old concept... And yes if people would unlearn, their machines would follow. Some way or the other. The q

On the other hand, there are people who thrive in such a world. In a Gaussian world, where suffering and thriving are the result of more or less independent random factors, this is fine. As systemic interdependencies increase, the situation
