Global Problems
You can't make progress if you can't gain consensus that a problem is worth solving.
The world is becoming increasingly complex and chaotic and we can't trust the systems we are supposed to believe in. At the same time we are unwitting volunteers in an irreversible experiment that could end humanity.
- Tech acceleration
- Communication
- Loneliness
- Distrust
- Dopamine traps
- Crony Capitalism
- The Industrial War Complex
- People desire fame over character
- Your attention is being manipulated
- Bot created digital pollution
- The young can't afford to buy a home, the old are struggling alone
- Plastic everywhere
Tech Acceleration
Tech changes us more than we shape it. AI is a massive bet that a few very well paid people will set the trajectory of a positive feedback loop in a fulfilling direction for the rest of us.
Loneliness
Dopamine traps created by social media are robbing people of real connection.
Distrust
Trust is the foundation of the coordination games that make society tick and risks rapid errosion due to proliferation of AI fueled digital pollution.
- Proxy Governments
- Failing Systems
- Massive Debt
- AI Job Applications
Reeducation
Who is going to reeducate all the middle people that are laid off, whose capabilities are now irrelevant?
Crony Capitalism
Leaders driven by ego to outperform competitors to win over Wall Street analysts.
- Ego Trumps Ethics
- Cannot trust centralised power
- The rich will become much much richer
Domain Specific
Problems by specific domain subject.
