"...The main function of music and instruments in China is to improve personal morality and to conform to the harmonious coexistence of nature and man."

Someone commented:

"In China, the Guqin has the highest status, it represents all the morals of a gentleman. In Chinese civilization, music does not exist as entertainment, let alone to please other people...."

By that I mean, to swing on the spiral, of our divinity, and still be a human. www.youtube.com/watch?v=Y7JG...

Getting back to the Conversation. Enjoying each others company again, instead of grinding so hard. Grinding is fun, don't get me wrong. But the real fun is when we are sitting around the fire and diving into the mysteries of each other and the universe, experiencing everything the system offers.

There is so much important thought we need to think before this happens though, so we are prepared for the shift. Or maybe there's nothing we can do to prepare haha.

We are near the edge. I feel like it would be way more cool to start mapping out what we're going to do in the post AGI world. Starting to think of scenarios. Brainstorming on situations. Coming up with a plan.

It's the whole premise of automatic and recursive self-improvement that AGI will inevitably have.

We are going to look back and laugh, once we are there. What were we thinking haha :)

It's strange to me seeing so many posts about this or that industry losing jobs to AI. That is temporary. Soon, every job will be lost, even the job of managing the AI. Max 100 years.

I don't understand why we aren't spending lots of time discussing what we're going to spend time doing as individuals and groups "post AGI", which could be within 5 years, or within 20 years, but definitely within 50 years (my lifetime).

It is going to be a greater shift than it was going from being hunter-gatherers to farmers to city-dwellers. It is going to be a new age of abundance.

What we have been striving for all along.
