We are in a super weird situation right now. The world is dying of stupid, and we’ve just invented a robot that’s smart. Holy fucking shit: Maybe it will save us. Because by ourselves, we are done. Geoengineering, it’ll work just fine; solar power, it’ll work just fine; lightweight cars, it’ll work just fine; insulating your homes, it’ll work just fine. All these things will work just fine, but we’re too fucking stupid to do them.

There is an intelligence gap. We have a tiny number of staggeringly intelligent intellectuals building things like nuclear bombs and the internet, and the vast majority of the population is living trapped in a world with these terrifying geniuses fucking up the entire structure of reality with shit that was never meant to exist. Human beings are geared for living in villages and farming vegetables with pointy sticks. That’s what they’re ready for.
