Not sure why you’re pointing this at me talking about enlightened beings etc.

Fertility goes down as wealth increases because developed industrial societies don’t use child labor and infant mortality has gone way down. It’s not because intelligence is a disadvantage.

His point seems to have gone over your head.

Intelligence is still very much an evolutionary advantage. Idocracy isn’t science and getting your ideas about evolution from a mark judge film is not a sign of intelligence.

It literally complains about majority rule and says that society is decaying because less intelligent people are being outbred by their inferiors.

oh fun, a bunch of anti-democracy and pro-eugenics sentiments. cool.

Draw.io or penpot.

lol that was my thought too.

I need more active animal communities. Please list your recs 🥺

What does this mean for apps like signal?

Suits are idiots. No argument there.

Ux is not about drawing pictures. That work is already automated by ui kits anyway. Ux is about thinking through requirements and research.

Unfortunately that doesn’t work well for 3rd party clients

Newsom is too Cali.

Brockman was also taken off the board so this seems unlikely.

Agreed

And your ancestors also subsistence farmed and didn’t have all the technology you do.

Look I’m as big a critics of our modern capital-industrial system as the next person but it’s crazy to not see how technology has made people more productive and given us more wealth.

Also the idea that peasants had lore days off is sorts debunked: https://www.reddit.com/r/AskHistorians/comments/kks6tq/comment/gh4oh5c

It is however quite true that people during the industrial revolution itself were working way more hours than previously which is why the whole labor movement kicked off. We appreciate the gains of previous ancestors fighting for our labor rights.

Could things be better? Certainly. Is automation being maliciously targeted towards art and creativity at the expense of not increasing productivity and reducing drudgery? No.

Except in fact we have just seen 2 centuries of drudgery automated. Have you seen a combine harvester?

The article actually included that. Which I thought was weird and a little sloppy.

Technological progress is not generalizable in the abstract. For hundreds of years human built faster and faster means of transportation and yet the record for fastest human vehicle remains 1969 appollo 10 mission.

There are hard limits to physics. It is not malleable without limit.

Magic leap said they were going to shrink down their light field tech a decade ago but gave up. The reality is that this technology may just not be physically possible.
