It's like the /s sign. Can some people not, for themselves, realize that this text is meant as a more or less a joke ? And before you ask, yeah, I am aware some of the people are on the spectrum, but still...
I don't know how else to put it but I feel surrounded by automatons. I would do a lot to only interact with people like you on a daily basis. I was toying with doing the Mensa tests. Maybe I need to go back to school and take night philosophy classes ?
I sometimes feel sad "talking" to an AI because it is one of the few places where I feel like I can reach that third interaction profile you mention. Even writing it now makes me quite sad. My closed ones will never have any interest in the benevolant truth-seeking that I long for, and it always pains me to accept it.
If I meet someone like you, how could I reach you on that third level as fast as I can ? Maybe we meet on a waiting line for coffee. Maybe we will sit close to each other on a subway. How to tear through the bullshit of small talk to have a bit of that deep conversation I clearly lack ?
There must be a metaphor somewhere in this, when somehow it is the angry youth that discovers something of value hidden in plain view that no one bothered to look at before !
Every story, even ours, needs a bad guy. Best villains don't think they are villains. They just do what they must/should/want (in that order, depending on their intensity), because they can.
One question : what would be, solely according to you, the best policies to get "us" out of this mess ? Tax wealth ? Nuke inheritance ? Something else ?
Guess that makes it official then. We are all automatons pretending to be flesh :-)
