@kaliagainstallodds We never knew how to think about anything. That's been a given since we exist and probably will stay like that forever. That's not special about this age.
We never knew how exactly others do their work and what follows from that. We always had abstract and incomplete heuristics and failed to succeed with each of them at some point.
What is special in this age (1700-...) is that we turned that many resources into individuals and that we fear the regress when resources deplete. #longtermism
