Most people are concerned about job loss with Al.
We need to talk more about anthropological collapse.
The biggest moral bankruptcy I see with Al adoption is this:
Progress comes from striving, not narcotic comfort.
Every human ambition drives innovation.
If we remove human ambition, civilization stagnates.
We cannot eliminate striving or we eliminate progress.
Endless abundance, total comfort, UBI, robots to do our bidding.
Right now, we are striving to eliminate our striving.
The metaphysical implications of this will be damaging to humans.
"Then I saw that all toil and all skill in work come from a man's envy of his neighbor. This also is vanity and a striving after wind." -
Ecclesiastes 4:4
