One of the biggest problems I have with using technology to communicate is that it attempts to blend all of society together, kind of like a homogenising force, and spread out all of humanity onto a flat disk, like spreading butter on a piece of bread... — JohnLocke
but that act of communication in this new style has many indirect consequences and the most obvious one I worry about most is ORIGINALITY. — JohnLocke
So, humanity, while likely being increasingly technologically efficient, will not be as individually creative in the Renaissance sense of true creativity, but rather this sense of creativity will likely come from computer assisted and thus replicable algorithms insofar as to diminish and obscure individualism in society. — JohnLocke
I guess human beings will be thought of as kind of like pieces of replicable code — JohnLocke
Thoughts...? — JohnLocke
For example, much of the discoveries in humanity come from the Renaissance and scientific revolution where there was no downward existential force constraining human communication at a human to human level, thus allowing human beings to thrive emotionally and be in that state of being able to create and derive new ideas. — JohnLocke
Get involved in philosophical discussions about knowledge, truth, language, consciousness, science, politics, religion, logic and mathematics, art, history, and lots more. No ads, no clutter, and very little agreement — just fascinating conversations.
