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“.
Scheidegger reflected on the collective wisdom of humanity and how society seemed to make increasingly poor decisions. He posed the question: what constituted these dumber choices? Was it the increasing willingness of people to disregard scientific evidence? Or the surge in support for populist politicians, despite evidence showing their economic policies wouldn't benefit anyone, including themselves?
Despite our limitations and mistakes, humanity had also achieved great things. Mistakes were made, but so too were pyramids. Nonetheless, the author expressed agreement with the notion that our time was marked by a qualitative difference: a heightened sense of cognitive egoism. This wasn't about individuals solely thinking of their own advantage.
Rather, it was a cognitive egoism, where people thought extensively from their own perspective, guided only by their own values. It was a clash of perspectives on the world.
