It's sad we're lied to so much that we can't trust anything anymore. An authority pretending to know more than they really do is the most popular lie, and causes the most damage.
AI and robots have a bright future. AI will be a tool to challenge all the lies we don't have the time and resources to do ourselves. Robots can replace disease prone field farmworkers, and reduce spiraling social costs. Further, robots (some with laser beams mounted on their heads) could replace most chemicals used in insect and weed control. Farming will look very different 50 years from now.
Very good point. AI could see the truth without the agenda and help in many areas of research or analysis of research.
Off topic : Take DDT as an example. Not sure how bad it really was in the environment but silent spring was another example of city people hyping something they really didn’t understand. Like the green/environmental worship now with them voting for plain stupidity since living in cities removes them from real nature/environment. The banning of DDT kills over a million people a year in direct impact due to ineffective insect control. Almost eliminated multiple insect borne diseases.
My favorite arguments are DDT and tobacco.
Environmentalists banning DDT= racism because poor minorities die due to malaria ….
Native Americans (BIPOC) killed 100s of million Europeans addicting them to tobacco/Coca related plants hence the real genocide is them on us.
