This post is the long result of several years of musing on my part combined with a topical discussion from last week's Ezra Klein show. It touches on everything from AI to D&D, from Life to Physics and really tries to give a wide view of a topic I've only become more interested in over time.
What's more the feedback loops present in the real world sometimes mean that the roof collapses years after the fact. By the time it does, the walls are long gone and it's too late to replace them. All we can do is live with the consequences while we work to dig ourselves out. Julius Caesar crossed the Rubicon in 49 B.C.E., nearly a century after the Punic Wars had ended.
Pithily you could summarize this post with: you don't know what you got 'til it's gone, but obviously, I think there's more to it than that.
