If you understood how close we are to superintelligence you would never trouble yourself with another thought towards politics. All institutions and ideologies which were relevant in the 20th century are about to dissolve into nothing.
can watch hundreds of movies a year your whole life and never be close to seeing all of the great/interesting ones, each of which took Herculean efforts to make. it’s both humbling and awe-inspiring. i imagine it’s similar to what people really into architecture feel
