@robinhanson If humanity would be really against modernity that “dehumanize”, the present would be very different but it isn’t. Therefore this pressure on “humanizing” progress is unreal

@gcugrey_area @robinhanson The aim was to get air supremacy over UK. Once gotten, the best navy of the world wouldn’t have any harbor anymore

@robinhanson Probably they would had defeat Stalin if: 1. they weren’t nazi and turn Ukrainians and Baltics as allies instead of decimating. 2. Japan move against Stalin instead of USA (though they already tried but lose). 3. Take Stalingrad on 41 instead of 42 and cut Volga

"We conclude that only a miniscule fraction of the social returns from technological advances over the 1948-2001 period was captured by producers, indicating that most of the benefits of technological change are passed on to consumers rather than captured by producers."

The odds of having dementia at age 85 were close to 1 in 3 in the 80s; now they are 1 in 10.

I don’t think we have a great explanation: better cardiovascular health, diet, and education are often mentioned. Good news nonetheless.

“Mean IQ … can differ even between two time periods of the same population. Such ubiquity arises because natural selection acts on cognitive ability in a multitude of ways and for a multitude of reasons.

@sukh_saroy And what do we call a language with a well-defined syntax and semantics suitable for generating executable artifacts?

A programming language.

We call it a programming language.

Historians love picking symbolic dates when `everything has changed`, even if people living then barely noticed it. Like 476 and the fall of Rome. So, as a failed historian, I suggest 28 Feb 2026: the publication of Donald Knuth Claude's Cycle - the beginning of programming.
