Cultural difference between US and China is still ~4x larger than cultural difference between generations (30y).

But I predict that as progress accelerates and the world becomes more interconnected, this will flip, which will have surprising consequences and implications.

(eg. longevity tech as cultural preservation)

so ultimately i think you and i agree w vitalik. the more i thought ab my response the more i thought his applied. same w yours. tech and culture and interconnection etc are all one layer of worldview. i think you and i are spiking in the idea that it wont be just one of these layers thatll align worldviews. wdyt

I'm much more aligned with this take. Exposure to technology even at early ages isn't shaping your worldview to the extent that your parents and culture does, and interconnection doesn't immediately merge minds.

I would go one step further and say I don't think this should even be a talking point as far as goals of technology go. Cultural integration is a slow process for a reason, I think anything that tries to speed that up unnaturally whether technological or otherwise is going to do more harm than good.

devils advocate: we been saying that ab china forever, that interconnection will align worldviews. in the 2000s the influx chinese students at us colleges was touted as something like that, harvard had students who were children of senior chinese leaders. 

i think chinese internet and media censorship perpetuates a divide

I'd love to hear more of your thoughts on longevity tech. IMO, many of the world's problems stem from the entrenched gerontocracy. Wouldn't tech keeping these corpses alive even longer create even more problems?

it sticks mentally and will be transferred to generations. The cultural difference will never come close.

What geroprotective tech excites you the most?

You’re welcome to become more communist. Not me.

my german grandma told me I look like a faggot prince, my chinese grandma said I resemble the young karl marx 🤷

Interesting take

Damn it Vitalik - you gotta coin these posts!!!

This does not surprise me at all and I think it would take a very long time before it "flips"
