The next era of human survival
Original essayDo I have food to eat?
Do I have a home to stay in?
Do I have clothes to wear?
Oh, I do.
But do I have food for the next year?
Do I have this home for the rest of my life?
Do I have someone who loves me?
Do I have people who respect me?
Who am I?
To ask this question, you must be among the 1% of the people who live on this earth.
But AI is going to make all of the 100% of people ask this question.
In the past history of the world, we went through different phases of survival. Be it the jungle with trees or the jungle with concrete — the desire to live is always relevant.
This is a game of survival, not a game of winning or losing, because the end of the race gives everyone the same medal: the medal of death.
A new being is taking shape in this world — AI.
For centuries, human beings were not the strongest but they were smarter and chosen by nature to dominate. AI may not be physically stronger than a human being yet, but it is already smart enough to make us humans feel dumb.
So, the cycle of survival has begun.
As an individual, as a being who wants to survive in this world — what do you need?
Your physical leverage has been taken away.
Your intellectual leverage has been taken away.
What remains is something ancient and something both AI and most human beings lack.
The Spiritual leverage.
AI can't tap into the infinite consciousness which we can from closing our eyes.
This is your leverage — being wise, knowing yourself and knowing the world.
