It's gonna be interesting for sure! I wonder how people find meaning and purpose in this world, and not just fall into hedonism and debauchery of some sort? I'm all in on AI, use it all the time and think it's a great unlock for so many things buf I also believe in Stoic principles of struggling to emerge stronger...

The ones who find meaning largely reproduce themselves, the hedonists largely don’t. Low time preference wins. This process has already begun.
Hope you're right... I honestly worry for my kids, growing up in a 100 percent digitally native world..
The algorithms are so insanely strong, they seem almost powerless to resist (I find it hard enough as a gen-X having known a time before social media). Finding meaning and purpose in a world that basically idolises content creators and empowers and incentives extracive attention farming.. it's an unknown and quite a challenge tbh.
I was just listening to nostr:npub1qny3tkh0acurzla8x3zy4nhrjz5zd8l9sy9jys09umwng00manysew95gx on Rabbit Hole Recap, and he was postulating that 5-15% of people will be sovereign, vs a majority that are just plugged into a VR pleasure world.
Makes me think a lot of Brave New World - halfway there with so many people on constant Soma….er, Gummy routine.
