What does the good life look like to you? The life that leads to happiness, or the beatific vision. -Matt Peterson For almost everyone, the good life is going to be something centered on what humans can do that robots can’t. There will be little escape from making key concessions to bots superior at some important things... but one thing humans can do that robots can’t is rule over the bots in a certain way. The faculties we will have to mobilize to achieve this are based in our bodies and souls, neither of which the bots have. In some cases, there won’t be much of a difference—reproduction, rearing, and religion have always been with us. But the stakes will be much higher now. In other cases we will push into strange and momentous new territory. The big question mark in all this has to do with the new future intersection of religion, robotics, and, well, aliens.
To Spencer, thank you for your knowledge, wisdom, and insight. I always enjoy reading your posts. They fill me with hope and encourage me to strive to be better.
Well-said as always, Spencer. Making gratitude a daily habit is also crucial during this time. Even if we don't feel it consistently (and Lord knows 2020 hasn't made it easy), being grateful for all that we still do have can help fuel living life "in abundance"
