OH, no, just AI to take on the personality and ideas of whoever it is you want to talk to. An interesting exercise.
We have just spent the evening watching geopolitics videos to understand a little more about the whole thing - the scale is so big and complex it's so hard to reduce to one thing as much media and popular opinon seem to do. The world WILL shift, massively, and then we'll reform something new. However I don't hold out hope that will change humanity as a whole - we will jsut start the shift toward a new order, and so on.
I found it interesting to hear about the best way to predict what will happen is to look at historic precedent. To me that is pretty depressing. The same patterns, ad infinitum.
I feel the same. I do think it's important to know your history, but when we realize what's needed is a new and radical shift, knowing history is neither here nor there.
So hard to follow and all-consuming, but that also is important. We need to be aware of what is happening, partly because it awards us some semblance of control, but also because it's not really something we can afford to ignore (or at least would be wise not to).
