This gives an impression all software engineers have some model in their head of complex ever changing systems they work on, that actually fits in that head and stays up to date at the rate at which the software system changes. The larger a

They wont dominate anything. They already are feeling pressure none of them are trained to handle. The UN/UNESCO/Pope etc have all been talking about it for a year or two now. We are slowly going to see the appearance of something

Its not a static system. Things will swing back and forth like a pendulum. And through those oscillation we move forward. Diff today is everyone is getting their heads filled 24x7 with a whole lot of info their grandparents never had to dig

Not a new problem. If you look at Power sector history world wide if they waited for investors to show up 3/4th of the world wouldnt be electrified. Once something is considered strategic and required even 30 or 50 years from now there

Well China cant seem to make a single friend beyond North Korea and Russia. Everyone is a bit wary of them. I mean when the US replaced the Brits as Hegemon a large part of the world wasnt nervous about it.

Or a utility :) Look at how a utlity works, in setting price specifically, for things that are considered a public good. The story is not about how much profit or revenue they make. Its about how do you keep it afloat and expanding in the c

Death is only interesting if confronting it causes prime directive shift: how to survive?(which people recite subconciously on loop) changes to, why to survive?

Drivel. Of the worst kind because there is no solution being proposed to what parents and teachers have to deal with daily. Just rubbish about oh no we are aligned with Darth Vader in taking on a mindless Empire. Social Media is built on ve

Best insights can be over rated due to bandwith limitation of the brain. Even if Einstein is sitting next to you the whole day and helping out Theory of Bounded Rationality applies.

Its not above being "Technical" but what kind of business probs you have experience with/deal with day to day. That decides what ceilings are. If you spend your whole day working on cockpit software or a telco stack or powe

Whats is always interesting about monestic life and its emergence (minus light sabers) is that society across cultures has created spaces for people who dont fit. This need has been recognized and supported for thousands of years.

As the buddhists have pointed out for thousands of years nothing is permanent. Attachment to things that are ever changing is the path to suffering.

People are allowed to express themselves you know? And do so without a point too. And good old Philosophers like Hegel say Consiousness(of self) requires dialogue between two beings. Not just one. And quite frequently that dialogue starts w

Govts wont be able to do shit. Just like we saw with social media. This is just happening faster. Illusion of control theatre will continue for few years. Beyond which we might have totally different looking govts.
