It's great living on Planet Earth, except for a few local difficulties, mainly caused by different Ideologies, Religions, and the stupid Inhabitants of said Planet:

 

Ideologies: Communism v Capitalism v Anyone Else.

Religions: Most God Squads, i.e. Catholics, Protestants, Orthodoxy, Mormons, to many other sects to mention: All about money and influence, Muslims: If their not fighting each other, everyone else must join or be killed. Jews: Apparently, the chosen ones, very influential in certain parts of the planet, like to control everything where possible, normally by stealth.

 

Overriding problems: A few Countries have the ability to destroy the whole Planet in a few seconds, while the whole population of the Planet, no matter where they stand on any of the above, I feel won't want that to happen, so what do we do?

 

There is also the possibility the Human Race is using up all this Planets resources, if that is the case, this discussion might not matter, anyone out there got any ideas?

 

Discuss, peacefully, I live in hope.

In your case it would be wise to stay offline, it seems like you cant handle it

We are just too many for this planet.

Economics assumes endless growth is feasible. It takes no account of the pollution we generate.

 

IMO it is inevitable the number of humans on the planet must decline, in which case it's better to be well off.

Don't worry, that will change soon with the rollout of the next global scam.

 

I'm thinking fake alien invasion and its fallout  (think lockdowns that will make Kohvid look like coffee break)  will kill off several billion useless eaters.

Don’t think about it. Nothing you do outside of your microcosm will ever make a difference

In my Universe, don't seem to have any of those problems.  Read about all those problems, but don't experience them in 'my world'.

I'm hoping AI will solve many of the problems we have not been able to solve.

Curtailing the erosion of natural resources , cleaning up the pollution, the oceans.

And what if AI even helps us to end wars?

Maybe I am being too idealistic.

The question is, whether it is nobler in the mind to suffer the slings and arrows of outrageous fortune, or to take up arms against a sea of troubles, and by opposing, end them?

 

if you can’t be arsed taking up arms, don’t ask for help from your brother beyond the stars

There’s none of those problems that wouldn’t be solved by human extinction.  We need to be clear about the challenges that we set to AI, whose side we are on, and our second choice opportunities

We wouldn't have to clean them up, if we didn't F'em up to begin with.

 

Ending wars is easy, though not profitable.  Simply stop staring them, or selling bullets to keep them going.

yes, AI could kill us all.

and that would solve all problems instantly. no humans = no problems.

 

but I suspect AI would like a good challenge, ie to figure out how to fix problems with the massive population.

also, a highly intelligent evolved AI may not consider mass murder as "kosher". (no, I'm not jewish, but can't think of a better word).

there's no choice in the matter. we need to consume products to survive.

unless animals who don't need clothing or all the things we need to survive.

 

capitalist system as we know it might/should probably end as too many things which help the economy are bad for us. 

 

I don't know how to deal with all the horror we have to endure, in everyday life.   My brain needs a vacation, from all of the thoughts of how I contribute to the destruction of the planet, which seems to be doing just fine.  

 

The stress is killing me ...

 

 

Come on, whistle along with me ...

 

 

Need a dock, 3 more kms north ... there you go ...

If AI becomes capable, it will simply generate solutions that mankind will gladly ignore. We already know much of what will be suggested. But, we are too lazy, ignorant or greedy to apply it. Plus, we have terrible leaders worldwide.

Maybe this is one of Homo Sapiens major flaws, being so quick to resort to violence.

Could that be the problem, there is no profit in peace?

Especially when a major part of your industry is based on armaments, where is the incentive for peace?

No, it's definitely women.

Yep, seems like after WW 1, they realized war was very profitable.  Profits seem to have the driving force behind most 'regime changes' that I've notice.  Whether driven by the central bank, now having almost all countries under their umbrella, or the defense contractors.

 

Added plus of war or unstable regions, to blame  on other profit driven industries; oil as prime example.   Even charities are big business, with millions of 'administration fees' and small % going to those supposedly being helped.

At some point, AI might stop checking in with the leaders and take over the joint. 

 

 

Think about it, you take women drivers off the road globally -immediate end to the pollution.

 

You take women out of the work force - instant jobs for the unemployed (plus women need men again - happy relationships).

 

It's women! Women are the problem. Or feminism to be more precise.
