Q: Is the key to getting @Kasparov63 back on top over the robots just mumbling “education & retraining” with ever greater conviction?
Good for @AndrewYang for pointing out that “The key is more education!” is just a slogan not a plan. He’ll take real heat...but he’s on target.https://twitter.com/AndrewYang/status/1130486501517778945 …

You could’ve said the same thing when making the switch from farming to industry. There’s unlimited room in STEM.

I’d love to talk this through sometime Naval. My fear is that there is a big difference. I might rephrase and say “there may yet be unlimited room in creativity and discovery based areas, but repetitive occupations may be over...even in STEM.” But I don’t know if you’d agree.

We agree. STEM workers transfer repetitive jobs to software and robots. What remains is creative work and the demand for human creativity, in all facets of life, is unlimited.

Where is it written that there will always be creative work that is *best* done by humans? And what guarantees that most humans will be able to do that work?

Everyone can be creative, given time and tools. Outstripping human creativity requires General AI, which is really far away. If / when that arrives, all debates become obsolete.

The *possibility* of creative work is largely obscured from most. The reality is that there is a tremendous pot for people willing to attempt strange, beautiful, novel things, and for the people who join them... and the reality is children who've written themselves off by 9 or 10

There will always be people who must be cared for by the state. But I do think we should be *very* cautious before contributing to the cultural miasma of personal intellectual impotence at scale. It's pernicious. It's not difficult to construct a self-fulfilling prophecy

I'll add: we're in a system that likes to grant the keys to the kingdom far too early to admit openly. This all depends on early filtration for strong, smooth cognitive capacity; "spikey" individual talents can be missed. Ask VCs how they feel about that spikey talent :)
