@gerrymcgovern No doubt the autonomous control of information processing depends on the excessive use of non-renewable resources. Humans do too, and competition for them is already an existential problem: a very few want to live in excessive luxury while the rest suffer an exponential growth in inequality and injustice. History does not favour the chances of the few over the many. Is the plan is to dull the minds of the many so they just die off and no pathogens are needed; they can’t trust each other with an antidote so a genocidal cull is out of the question? Perhaps it is backfiring as it appears the wealthy and entitled who believe they are of the right gender and race are the ones becoming more stupid? #TechNazis
