New Pope knows what’s up. 

Everyone is fighting to be the big overarching narrative, but I have to disagree with the Pope in that this time is like the Industrial Revolution.

It's more like the Renaissance where the cultural change will lead. New tech needs new norms. 

I think the cultural change will have to address the artificial depressing of the human spirit. This has been going on for as long as I can remember, and the AI narrative is just another form of this.

The human spirit will come roaring back.

don't take my casts super seriously please (most of them at least)

yeah thats a good point, optionality also is another reason this is happening, its amazing that you can do many things, but what you REALLY want to do is the real question (like the rest of your life)

similarly, deep writing has helped me filter this, (which AI also does a great job of assisting with), i am still figuring out exactly how to do this in the right way, but am very confident that the optionality issue can be alleviated at least to some extent with the above

> the cultural change incoming imo is just people learning how to use it properly

would have to disagree on this part because once you've learned how to do it --> you can do many things --> what should you do --> what is meaning

> I think the cultural change will have to address the artificial depressing of the human spirit

i agree with you for the most part, I think though that AI reinvigorates the human spirit in a way we haven't seen since before the internet (assuming you know how to use it). the cultural change incoming imo is just people learning how to use it properly.

personally have used it to:

1.) help me brainstorm on a given idea or thought I have (leads to better thinking overall)
2.) think through any kind of problem/emotion I am feeling at a moment
3.) (most important), help me realize what i actually want in life

I think anyone who isn't using AI today for things like the above are at a massive disadvantage mentally and spiritually, (which leads to them being at a disadvantage everywhere else)
