All those computers turned to "win" the stock market puts pressure on the human brain, mass mind of society, more and more. Business and society becomes a big gambling game of trying to trick the other person out of holdings to "win". It isn't about investing in good ideas or quality products for the future, it's about profits and wealth, even people's retirement dreams they have been fed their whole life.

We are pushing on the limits of human brain with every machine and trade. Trickle down.

#MoGawdat has lost his mind to this, he is saying rather directly that all his predictions about year 2029 or year 2050 are out the window. He is now saying in a single year, in 2025.

Neil Postman was saying in 1985 New York City that we were amusing ourselves to death with television media, now with social media + smartphones, where we are in 2024.

John Lennon's 1971 Imagine gets mocked + belittled a lot.. but when do we reach point of feeding, housing everyone? 1971?

You know what attracted Elon Musk to Twitter? The hum of cloud computing, fragmentation of ideas. People look at the tiny short messages that made Twitter so famous since year 2006. You know, like SMS / text messages were short. But Twitter had no such technical limit as the basis for text messages.

The smashing of understanding into fragments is what I think attracted Elon Musk to Twitter.

#CarlSagan called it "10 second sound bite" in 1995 book, before 2006 Twitter existed. Sagan was right.
