Never Bet Against Humanity
vk.bearblog.devIt's nice to see an old-fashioned cheer for humanity. Here's my nitpicks:
Early human innovation was incredibly slow, and looks more evolutionary than innovative. Traditions were kept up for thousands of years. Progress itself was invented, and not all once (perhaps we're still improving the concept).
Then there's this:
> We create so much noise that everyone in our world is freaked out enough to work on it.
That's paradoxical. Should we freak out or not? It seems to say that we can relax and stop freaking out, because we're freaking out, so everything's OK.
We can't relax. Solving problems on tight deadlines means that we are inherently paranoid about doomsday scenario. But at the same time, no need to be overly pessimistic :)
