I think we are going to have to go through a revaluation of what is considered valuable in this world. Currently, it is whatever makes money, even if it is bad for overall wellbeing of humanity. Essentially, value should be tied to improving wellbeing, not harming it. If you did the thought experiment and worked through what has value now, the supply chains, and the impact on wellbeing overall - most of the business world is harmful.
The "free market" of consumption isn't actually free, is it? The advertisers have a huge advantage over influencing individuals, using mass data sets to apply collective rules gathered over dozens of years, to trigger human responses in people who are largely incapable and unaware of it even happening.
We think we know ourselves, because we experience what we experience, but this doesn't mean we know how we work at a base level - behavioural psychologists and economists have literally made a science out of how we work, and apply it to make profits, not wellbeing - because profits is the goal, right?
In our reflections, we often return to the origin: those who hold the knife by the handle impose the laws. Today, those who possess quality information impose their perspective. But this attitude of craving more power (like the Merovingian) repeats across all generations. Do education, religion, therapy, or art change anything? I mean a lasting shift in mental and social attitude. Changing to something like, "I want well-being for others and less power for myself"... But all of that is abstraction and ideals. The jungle always remains in our genetic coding: "Wherever I have found what is alive, I have found the will to power; and even in the will of the servant, I have found the will to be master." I was an idealist until I was 16, haha. Do you think AIs, which don’t need "anything", could gain consciousness someday? I have a little faith in that.
P.S. I like you, right? Haha. Give my regards to Carnegie and Richard Bandler.
