Transforming Stupidity into Critical Thought in an AI Age.

If you are likely to be alive for 40 + years, this presentation could be key to you psychologically and emotionally.

Humans have muddled through history producing many solid gains for our species. Some might say “the proof is in the pudding” and stress looking at how far we have come. I would say the opposite: that the metaphorical pudding may taste sweet but the recipe is poisonous, the chef is a psychopath, and humanity is growing weaker with each bite. We are being duped now as always. But now our technology makes the con much more effective and risk much more catastrophic.

As AI becomes super capable, we may not be able to maintain our species’s supremacy or even power. Our labor may become valueless. However, we can still find happiness and meaning through jettisoning our stupid behavior tendencies and honing our critical thinking skills, empathy, and capacity to form loving relationships. AI could be just the tool to help us.

If you want to learn what I am thinking about and discuss it, please attend the January 31st meeting. However, come with an open but skeptical mind.

From 9:30 AM to 10:00 AM we discuss RANDOM BITS where anybody can bring information to the group that might be useful or important when considering the future. Then the presentation starts at 10 AM and lasts until noon. There is usually some time for discussion.
