It seems we're reaching a strange point in our technological development. On the one hand, we have resources like never before in every aspect of human endeavor. AI will kick things into hyper drive.

At the same time, we're seeing these same advances be used for control. I don't see how this can end well unless one thing happens - some form of human evolution, call it spiritual evolution, evolution of consciousness, whatever, but some sort of evolution that makes us, on the whole, just want to be good people.

I don't see that happening soon. Evolution takes a while. So, yeah, once again I have to conclude that we're fucked.
