Has it ever occurred to anyone that humans were never meant to get this far? We were supposed to remain hunter gatherers. Instead, we figured out how to farm, write, build massive civilizations, harness the lightning of the Gods, build weapons of mass destruction, and conjure thinking machines. We were never even meant to leave our own planet. Yet we did! These insane, hairless, dirt gremlins are now trying to construct decentralized economies and governments that can traverse the vastness of space. They are a rapidly spreading virus, reaching their diseased tendrils towards the stars. There are no alien space invaders out there; WE are the space invaders. And soon, nothing will be safe...

So I saw this in a youtube reel, spent about 5 seconds then decided to just take the question to ChatGPT. Got a very interesting answer that sounds right. Curious what people here come up with. Also an interesting thought on our future. Using your brain is going to be like going to the gym. Good for you, extremely healthy (and needed for quality of life) but not necessary for survival anymore. Given the obesity epidemic it's interesting to think about.

I’m a fan of nuclear power but this is nonetheless interesting. Cost of production, installation and upkeep really matter, not just energy density. Learning rates for wind, solar and batteries are good. For nuclear power plants, regulations make it so difficult in many countries that the learning rate is negative.

"This is probably the thing I disagree with the most with my very close friend, Peter Thiel. [He] Who kind of famously wrote in his book, basically that you need monopolies in order to get in innovation. Monopolies stop innovating. Monopolies are just death to innovation. Because as you like to say the motto of any monopoly is we don't care because we don't have to." - @pmarca

The Techno-Humanist Manifesto, Chapter 1: Fish in Water Industrial civilization has become a victim of its own success: it has solved the problems of daily existence so thoroughly, and with such finesse, that the solutions and even the problems fade from our collective memory. https://blog.rootsofprogress.org/thm-ch1-fish-in-water

All history asymptotes to archetypical structure with time. Became visceral with the mythologization of history by Hollywood, but now all history is reconstructed in its archetypal form in real time Our war becomes all wars. We think we are so much more sophisticated than ancients, as though they never saw patterns we have not
