Magic mushrooms did a 'force quit' to my thought patterns. Nothing else has done that before. - Bryan Johnson

The Earth has to balance its extraordinarily complex biosphere just as our body has to fight to achieve balance in what it lords over. It’s all the same. Systems balancing themselves.

AI will accelerate identity erosion faster than institutions and individuals can respond. our identities are tied to what we do (work) and what we know (intelligence). AI is about to automate both.

stability is now a liability, we need plasticity. for thousands of years, success meant creating stability (i.e. building walls, storing grain). with AI, stability is death. success will be rapid adaptation which humans are very good at (though makes them very grumpy).
