On the path to the singularity, it would seem. 😉
I also wonder if this digitization-of-all-the-things will have a short term impact on the general population's mental health (for good or for ill). We are now seeing some of the repercussions of web2 social media starting to air out on downside of that idea.
I can envision a future where more granular, quantitative insight helps, and also one where it hurts. As long as our brains have not yet evolved to rely on machine input, we will be old-school pattern seeking creatures that oversimplify and see stories everywhere. I feel like a data-driven reality will need to work hard to put up guardrails.
Reigning this discussion back on topic though... perhaps a big role of web3 education can start with a more pointed global curriculum in understanding the machines that underpin our digital existence.
There should be a global indication to help understand the context of the internet and group psychology as well.
I find that individuals are often both clever and kind and that masses of people are often neither.
We all want to be treated as humans but often lack the insight to treat people as human once we have no clue who they are, which happens when you move and react as a group.
