punk rebel ecks posted:My question is, do you think that point will ever come? No, because I can only maintain an erection imagining the fulfillment of every nerd's Tech Rapture that will finally save them from the horrors of actually having to be a human being in the form of a super intelligent AI that will self-evolve and solve all problems and me smashing it with a loving sledgehammer the second after they turn it on. And I have to think that, statistically speaking, there are at least a handful of other people like me and always will be.

An autist wouldn't delight in the misery of STEM majors without social skills being doomed to lives of impotent desperation quite so much. I am however thinking of starting a telethon to fund research to help teach autists how much better their lives are for not being one of the people that think magical technology will save them in the end.

Your Dunkle Sans posted:On that note, early tribal societies prior to the invention of agriculture and stored grain were quite adept at equitable distribution of resources. Some people have called this primitive communism, and whether or not the term is accurate it still shows that human society is capable of distributing resources efficiently and minimizing the power of hierarchy even in those groups with a chief figurehead. The problem now is how to reconcile that with the ideology, culture, and economics of capitalism or to overcome capitalism and progress to a more humane form of distribution of resources. Kill drat near loving everyone, reduce abstract social unit to a size where participants know almost all members. It's not complicated. You know what is? Logistics. Things get exponentially more difficult the more people and the more land area you have to a manage.
