Führung: „Das Schlimmste aus der Perspektive eines überklugen Typen wie Elon Musk ist ja das Sterben“
Der Philosoph Manuel Scheidegger sagt: Dummheit wird unterschätzt. Ein Gespräch über Hoffnungen in KI, falsch verstandenen Scheiterkult – und den Sinn von „Meinungsfasten“.
Interviewee Scheidegger emphasizes that humanity possesses more knowledge than ever before. Yet, it seems society continues to make increasingly poor decisions. He seeks clarification on what he considers to be "dumber choices", suggesting it may be people's willingness to disregard scientific evidence or support right-wing populist policies that do not necessarily increase prosperity for anyone, including themselves.
Despite past mistakes and limitations, he acknowledges that humans have also achieved greatness. He believes we are currently witnessing a qualitative shift characterized by intense egocentrism in thinking. Rather than simply pursuing personal gain, individuals are cognitively egoistic, focusing their perspectives solely on their own values. This leads to a clash of worldviews.
