One of the monsters of Greek mythology, Argus, possessed thousands of eyes. That might have given him an advantage in a fight, but he still got killed, and it is said that his eyes now exist in the feathers of peacocks..
Oh yeah! Great myth. I need to brush up on my Greek mythology - there's a lot of really cool stuff in there that tells us how the Greeks saw the world. I've put it off for too long.
Man, what a cool way to think about this! I feel the tide of tech rising - like when the harbor empties out before a tsunami rising. It’s fascinating and who knows where it takes us but I know all the predictions and prognosticators and Nostradamus’s are wrong
Some predictions will be less wrong than others. For us, I think it's all about leaving possibilities open and creating space for different potential outcomes.
I guess. It's gonna be tough for them to have much impact with sticks and stones up against nanotech and AI, but they'll cause some disruptions for sure.
Mobs are definitely fickle, and new things can emerge from the crowd. It's not always "wisdom" that emerges, but sometimes a distinct identity with its own desires that have little to do with the majority.
I guess that is one of the things I've been trying to wrap my head around lately. I should pick simpler problems.

Beware the rise of the luddites

The mob is fickle - trying to dig up some wise shit from gladiator but who knows if thats right - but ultimately, we have to bring everyone along.

Dude, that’s an impossible problem! Like figuring out how overalls are now peak fashion or why hawk tuah is even a thing
I'm just kind of bummed out this didn't eventually lead to a riddle about Mississippi.
And yes, the pace of progress is ever more relentless. We'll need an extra eye each just to keep up.
And then considering that each insect has, like, a dozen to a hundred eyes - we get an even larger number.
