What if postmodernity has no adaptive niche for mob-mentality humans? People with strong mobbing genes might be exactly the same people with the sorts of algorithmic minds that robots could replace. 🤔

Aren’t rational actors easier to map and replace? Mobbing is usually considered a somewhat counterproductive, irrational and unpredictable pursuit-driven by emotion. Wouldn’t this actually make it more challenging to predict & model?

Rational and predictable are not the same. Irrational but predictable is probably the easiest function to replace. AIs picking up biases from human training data for example. Mobs are mostly in irrational/predictable quadrant.

With evolution running at a 100s of years minimum, and the reasonable futuristic telescope at maybe 30yrs, I think this sort of thinking is silly. So much can change is just one generation...

Thank heavens scientists have identified those pesky 'strong mobbing genes'
