Humans are not mentally ready for anything beyond tribes on the African savanna. Everything else is achieved via complicated brain hacks or social structure hacks that function like cognitive dongles to let a tribal hominid interface with a radically different world.

We just need to develop a whole new battery of hacks for this world. It’s happening slowly.

I’m not convinced that AI is going to make things qualitatively different from social media. It may allow bad actors to produce a lot more bullshit but it’s not like an environment saturated in bullshit is new.
