Comment Easy problem to solve (Score 0) 238

We need less people in the world. In reality, we need fewer and fewer people who are smarter and smarter. For most of this planets existence, the strongest and smartest survived. Today the opposite is happening. For example: previously (100 or more years ago) if someone was not paying attention and tripped over something in their way and hit their head, they would have died or been disabled. The disability would lead to less likely chance of procreation. This was natural selection working and not passing on negative outcome genes. Today, if that same person tripped, he would sue the town or owner of the property he was walking on and get a lot of money. The money would allow this person to possible fix any damage from tripping and having extra money would make them more attractive and reproduce and pass on the trait of not paying attention when walking. Their kids would learn that paying attention is not needed or be genetically be unable to pay attention. They would learn that suing gets better results than working hard. To extrapolate this concept, leads us to our current problem. We have rewarded simple manual labor with good paying job that allowed those who do not have the skills for the upcoming AI/Robotics revolution to succeeded. A huge section of human population learned that "hard work" not "smart work" was enough to have a good life. Rather then push education in science and math, we now push "creation theory" in school. We make hero's of sports figures in which only a few thousand job exist rather then million scientist we need. The problem with all of this is that it leads to leader like Trump getting elected. We are coming to a fundamental change in human society in which rewarding simple manual labor is no longer going to be possible. The world needs to change their fundamental thinking. Unfortunately we need to tell those who are not able to succeed they will need to change and learn or not enjoy in marvels of modern society. I admit that I have enable this behavior because of my liberal beliefs. I have given money to originations around the world that help feed poor children and believed that government should help out the less fortunate. Today I push my kids to learn Robotics and AI as part of their education not provided by our local schools. I also see so many middle class parents who just due not push their kids to learn the hard topics. P.S. I have not been sued by anyone.

Hmm..... Who would have thought a Chinese company would install software that is capable of spying on laptops? Wonder how the world's secrets keep getting stolen? If you buy a Lenovo and expect anything different, you deserve what you get. This is not the first time, nor will it be the last time. They just got caught this time.
