“You are better off listening to the guys that built products and are heads IN THE INDUSTRY like Bill Joy, Elon Musk, Ray Kurzweil or Bill Gates vs. a college Professor that lives in an Ivory tower. It’s a lot like taking economic advice from Antifa that lives in their mommy’s basement.”
Do you also listen to them about global warming or climate change? They all believe like Algore believes?
Personally, I’d rather think about things myself - consider the available evidence and come to my own conclusions. That is not to say that I don’t want to hear what those guys or other experts have to say. I admire what they have done and the contributions they’ve made to the world, but I would consider their opinions critically, I wouldn’t blindly accept their conclusions.
And being a freeper I got a feeling you don’t accept the climate change BS because “experts” tell you you should. Or am I wrong?
And you’re probably also aware that one of the logical fallacies is “argument from authority”. So beware of experts.
You keep mixing apples with oranges and then try to compare them.
The people pushing the lie of Global Warming/climate change rubbish are career politicians, career government bureaucrats, Academia that benefit financially for pushing the lie, ditto some businesses and Hollywood. What you will find is that most of these Shills never built product in their life. Furthermore, they do not practice what they preach. All they do is parrot each other vs. exercising critical thought. There arguments are chalked full of holes, many unanswered questions, and malarkey. Finally, it’s a scam that has been in the books for a very long time.
Again you are comparing apples to oranges.
The guys I listed for you have built, managed, innovate and lead the technology industry for years. They are some of the top minds in the industry that have added Trillions of dollars to the U.S. economy , and probably quadrillions to the global economy combined.
Anyway, I can tell you are very new to this debate just like the nutty bow tie professor. The public debate started about 20 years ago, but it goes way back to the 1950s and even before that, but it was more theory at the time. I’ll spare you that history. Anyhow, that’s why I originally linked you that article from Bill Joy from 2000. Did you notice the date?
The debate position you are taking was basically argued until about 2013. You don’t have to believe it. I am just telling what the Industry is saying, and we can actaully see it in practice through workers migrating to different fields. You seem to believe the industry growers linear when it’s growing exponentially.
Perhaps you believe all theories are timeless and will always apply. Sorry but bot all theories are timeless. For instance, Moore’s law. If you are not familiar with it, then please look it up. Some theories have shelf life and others are timeless. What you are arguing is a theory that works for a period of time.
Life is just not that simple. I know you want to believe in absolutes. But there are no absolutes in life. Generally you can have idea, a guide so to speak, but that just a starting point.
I know in Academia one of the biggest flaws is that Professors love to read books that are about 5 years old. They master the book, and then think they know the answer to everything. Haha! You know it too when they use the phrase “the Key. I roll my eyes every time I hear this. They act like think they have some skeleton master key that will unlock the universe. Haha!
Let me clue help you out. By the time the Professor cracks open that 5 year old book and masters the ideas in it have changed at least 500 times because that’s how the real world operates.
The industry I work in literally changes every 10 days. This is because Global Corporation is fast changing industry. If you can’t keep up, then you will never make it. Change is the only constant in business. Business is dynamic like a kaleidoscope, and not almost static like a college university campus that changes at a snails pace.
