News
Welcome to the News community!
Rules:
1. Be civil
Attack the argument, not the person. No racism/sexism/bigotry. Good faith argumentation only. This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban. Do not respond to rule-breaking content; report it and move on.
2. All posts should contain a source (url) that is as reliable and unbiased as possible and must only contain one link.
Obvious biased sources will be removed at the mods’ discretion. Supporting links can be added in comments or posted separately but not to the post body. Sources may be checked for reliability using Wikipedia, MBFC, AdFontes, GroundNews, etc.
3. No bots, spam or self-promotion.
Only approved bots, which follow the guidelines for bots set by the instance, are allowed.
4. Post titles should be the same as the article used as source. Clickbait titles may be removed.
Posts which titles don’t match the source may be removed. If the site changed their headline, we may ask you to update the post title. Clickbait titles use hyperbolic language and do not accurately describe the article content. When necessary, post titles may be edited, clearly marked with [brackets], but may never be used to editorialize or comment on the content.
5. Only recent news is allowed.
Posts must be news from the most recent 30 days.
6. All posts must be news articles.
No opinion pieces, Listicles, editorials, videos, blogs, press releases, or celebrity gossip will be allowed. All posts will be judged on a case-by-case basis. Mods may use discretion to pre-approve videos or press releases from highly credible sources that provide unique, newsworthy content not available or possible in another format.
7. No duplicate posts.
If an article has already been posted, it will be removed. Different articles reporting on the same subject are permitted. If the post that matches your post is very old, we refer you to rule 5.
8. Misinformation is prohibited.
Misinformation / propaganda is strictly prohibited. Any comment or post containing or linking to misinformation will be removed. If you feel that your post has been removed in error, credible sources must be provided.
9. No link shorteners or news aggregators.
All posts must link to original article sources. You may include archival links in the post description. News aggregators such as Yahoo, Google, Hacker News, etc. should be avoided in favor of the original source link. Newswire services such as AP, Reuters, or AFP, are frequently republished and may be shared from other credible sources.
10. Don't copy entire article in your post body
For copyright reasons, you are not allowed to copy an entire article into your post body. This is an instance wide rule, that is strictly enforced in this community.

Millenials also thought they where better than boomers. It's a cycle. The greatest generation was the greatest, all after are trash.
I'm thinking this is the perennial truth. Until/unless some incredibly truly paradigm-breaking thing happens. The kinds of minor fluctuations that have happened so far are not really it, either. The "my generation has these unique properties" and "those other generations just don't understand" is probably a story as old as time.
I mean something truly top-tier futurist kind of thing(s).
No one after ASI will understand the people before ASI. Imagine the perfect doctor that does not neglect you, assuming we aren't just killed off.
I'm trying to imagine what it might be like for people that have radical life extension, combined with even AGI, along with a post-scarcity world, trying to understand the hivemind thinking that came before...I do think you are onto something. It's hard for any of us to be sure what that world might be like but it will likely be very hard (short of mind uploads of those that straddle this shift) for them to understand how myopic people in this time seem to be (as a generality).
I find it just so weird that only a few people seem to be thinking about what is possibly coming next, and only constantly steer by looking in the rear view mirror. Especially even AFTER seeing (relatively) minor changes like refrigeration, electricity, septic systems, television, radio, satellite communications, Internet, the Green Revolution, smart phones, vaccinations, container shipping, and early LLMs and how they are all continuing to change culture. It'd be one thing to have this mindset maybe before the Industrial Age...maybe.
Case in point - things like UBI - are barely discussed. Even as we see MASSIVE wealth inequality underway, the likes of which the world has never seen before. Instead of serious discussion about a transition to UBI and serious talk about post-scarcity economies, a whole lotta dipshits are cheering on the likes of fElon kicking out the rather pathetic safety nets we have left.
