The Future Of Reasoning

this vsauce video puts into words a lot of what scares me about the future

the idea that just, like

what if humans aren't equipped to deal with what the internet does to debate

what if human reason is broken

and discussing problems to figure out the correct solutions is just not competitive

the idea that not only does social media and government as they currently exist make reason impossible, but they also make escaping them impossible

what do you do about that

Well you can violently overthrow at least one of those things

what are the actual odds that what comes out on top after a violent revolution will be substantially better

Historically, absolutely nil
