Too many assume humans are rational creatures, with free will.
We are not.
We are basically a bunch of cavemen and while our brains stopped evolving ~100,000 years ago, we somehow managed to create weapons of global scale and to partially organise on a global scal.
It’s a rollercoaster ride without breaks, but hey, maybe we’re lucky.
That’s the thing about general-purpose intelligence. Once you develop it for a certain set of tasks, you find you can do many other things with it.
Really, human intelligence is amazing. I also call people dumb often but I think the reality is that they are lazy when they can be. And that’s just good old fashioned resource conservation.
That MF who big brained himself 100k years ago doomed us all
I mean we come from absolute fracture if you go back far enough, so it’s familiar territory.
