Part 4/8:
One of the book’s key concepts is “post-instrumentality,” a state where human effort is no longer necessary for achieving goals. In such a future, with intelligent machines managing tasks traditionally performed by humans, the way individuals find meaning and purpose may drastically shift. Bostrom theorizes that rather than becoming lazy, humanity may evolve to explore new realms of creativity and fulfillment, driven not by necessity but by choice.
The discussion further highlights Bostrom’s belief that the increase in human capability through technology can lead to entirely new value systems, expanding the definitions of humanity's objectives.
