It's genuinely scary how many people these days are using social media and AI as their imagination, conscience, and self-reflection. 0 intellectual self development and in many cases people are reverting from having self-agency and instead depending on the magic talking box because it's easier.
NGL though it's funny to know half the people arguing retarded takes on the Internet basically are consulting the magic conch to outsource their entire personality and worldview. Silver lining, I guess.

I am convinced that all human manual and intellectual ability only exists because we had no other way of doing it in order to survive. The classic man had to hunt and farm their own food and as a result they stayed fit. They had to read and write in oder to transmit knowledge and wisom and as a result their mind stayed sharp. They had to know how to maintain their tools in order to use them. They had to learn muscal instruments in oder to make music for their community. They had to have good relations with their fellow men because they relied on each other and as a result they had friendships and community. They had to learn about the world around them to navigate it.
Humans never evolved to maintian these things, since we just happen to get them by necessity anyway. What we evolved to do is to preserve energy. We cut energy costs wherever we can, and as soon as we can get the same result by doing less, we end up doing so. No more reading and writing, no more farming and community, no more manual and intellectual labour, no more playing music. Because a machine doing these things for you is easier and more conveniant, and why go with the exhausting and inperfect way if you can have easy and perfect?
They fall into a hole made by the ancient lizard part of our brain that just craves food and pleasure.
And as a side effect of our ancestors evolving in a state of physical and mental fitness is that the lack thereof makes us feel like ass, and it takes researchers and psychologists to figure out why. Thats why all these coomers, hedonists and basement dwellers have many mental illnesses and hate themselves.
I am especially amused at all these post-humanist "let's upload our brain" people. When people get the ability to become digital gods, most of them will just end up in the digital version of peasure drug pods.
The moment man gets the abily to fulfill all his desires, he will abolish himself.
Such irony. The depressed end their own life to escape suffering, and the happy hedonist ends up doing the same.
-coded post I saw on r/MyBoyfriendIsAI. Equally funny as it is horrifying.
