You can see it already. People are stopping to think on their own and relying on technology. How many people surrender to mapquest rather than learning their route? How many people can do math in their heads? Memory and memorization are part of the logical aspect of consciousness that people have abandoned to become emotional to make room for the weeds to enter them.

You know, I don't see the Terminator scenario as the biggest danger. I see the abandonment of skills (by humans, to AI) as the biggest dangers.

At some point, we become shapeless flabby unskilled blobs of flesh. That, I think, is the highest and most frightening danger.

Well now you're getting personal. I worked hard to get this way. Everyone was pushing me to eat healthy and exercise. It's easy to give into peer pressure but I stood my ground. Fast food and lots of it. The more processed the better. The produce aisle in a grocery store is like a crucifix to a vampire for me. Speaking of which, I avoid sunlight (toxic Vitamin D). Watching low level television, staring at my phone or playing games on it or bingeing on junk food got me into this shapeless flabby unskilled blobs of flesh and I'm not giving it up.

Right on the mark!

I like your font at the top, by the way…🙂
