Wait. I just realized something. One of the significant reasons humans are such amazing creatures compared to the other species is our generational knowledge we can pass down. But we have a saturation point. We need consciousness information downloading. Not immortality. But a way to download Wikipedia to our brains. That's the next step.
Agreed. It's so tiring actually navigating Wikipedia. I just want a megacorp to select the best bits and inject them directly into my brain when they see fit!
But make sure they take out anything that would negatively affect their company!
The solution to that historically has been urbanization, which allowed people to become specialists in a chosen field. They get to absorb all the knowledge in a specific field of expertise, and then a select few are smart enough to push it further.
Unfortunately we haven't really managed to apply this to politics yet, because those who are specialists in getting elected aren't necessarily specialists in governing either. Nor are they likely good at governing everything, maybe just a specific part. But picking who is suitable enough is not done by specialists but by the general public, which is both democracy's strength and weakness.
I can agree with that. But something has gotta give? I think we're in the right direction, we have some significant spedbumps along the way is all
I don't think it will work. Some knowledge you just can't acquire without lived experiences.
Sure. But you don't need lived experiences to have full knowledge of economic histories or previous laws that have failed and should not be brought back. "Lived experiences" is just another bandwidth problem for most.
So basically ai chips.
Or vampires.
Possibly. I think that might be a temporary stop gap until we get to bio engineering. I doubt we are going to integrate with AI
?????????
Doritos.
economy collapsing and all we do is eat hot chip & lie
You can be bisexual too (until the camps for us filthy gays open)
not necessarily, just a brain chip, doesn't need ai
