We understand each other perfectly. Both are statistically unlikely: the odds of the few oligarchs happening to be farsighted (not the current case, as you mention) or the chance (less likely, in my estimation) that the percentage of common folk who can be convinced to delay short term gains for long term benefits, can be increased from the current tiny minority into a quorum.Jan Sand wrote: ↑March 16th, 2019, 4:01 am If the current oligarchy is any representation of that solution they seem negatively capable of even a modicum of good sense, What you reject as "rabble" is the mass of humanity which contains an indescribably rich potential from totally hopeless to the most brilliant and possibly effective individuals. That is where hope lies, as remote as it seems to be.
Good luck to both of us.

It can only be a god we created intentional or not and so far every god created by humans has either been a hindrance or a catastrophe. I'm certain this time we will create our own disasters without any god inclusions for such is likely to happen long before AI has any potential of becoming godlike. It must first develop into a semi-intelligent slave before any possibility of it being overlord. There's too much speculation about AI and the amount of intelligence it may eventually possess. More likely we will be long gone or otherwise incapacitated before humans become the new Neanderthals...if that were ever possible.

NB religion is not a matter for commonsense, or science. Before they become politicised religions are arts.
