Any society that drops people like hot potatoes is inhuman, dispicable and to be changed.

@maiyannah Right next to the place for people who talk in theatre and those who pay in small coins at the cash desk.
@0x3F But I agree, weare in dire need of a cultural shift. A de-dehumanisation of economy. There's no such thing as a homo oeconomicus. There's only people. And those tend to be pretty diverse and pretty human if you let them be.
@0x3F Without work and serious effort put into it, how well could one understand something new? What's the value of an iPhone for somebody, who's got no idea what deep understanding of nature was necessary for its creation?
@0x3F I picture a mischievous toddler with a kalashnikov. He can destroy the world, but does he really understand what power he commands?
About languages and culture. Yes, on-spot translators would be marvelous. Going somewhere like Captain Picard and having the tools to understand other cultures. A pleasing thought. But I don't think it is that easy. ->
@0x3F@cybre. To be honest, I have no idea what the great plan for utopia could be. That's a bit to much for my brains. However, by the idea of altruism – I don't consider it to be a dogmatic solution. I suppose, it is a good foundation to base one's perception of the world and one's deeds onto.
But, to get a bit religious, I believe, it is the right thing and we'd all be better of, if we considered all humans part of our in-group.

@0x3F Of course "doing the right thing", whatever that means, is hard. I live in Fort Europe. Nothing of the misery that was created on our behalf shall pass the borders of our little paradise. And I understand, it is very tempting to ignore the consequenses of our deeds. Who cares for people at the end of the world, as long as my shoes and my food stays cheap?
@0x3F I think, it should remain up to humans to learn languages and communicate through them. Ais are a nice thing but I very much doubt they offer worthwhile benefits for humankind as a species, but for turning the wheel even faster, gaining more profit.
In short, I am quite pessimistic when it comes to AIs and transhumanism. I think, we lack the moral means to use it properly.
