Interestingly, despite guessing ~ right on the racing question (I was thinking manipulating friction+lateral forces from tires on the road), I still had a cached thought of racing being easy and low skill.

Your "perfect" world sounds quite boring. I would either play games, and find meaning in them (just as I have many times in the past) or, more likely, ask the ASI to uplift me until I could contribute meaningfully.

And in fact, this is the effect AI has had on me today. I offload as much as I can to it, and in the process am able to take on bigger and cooler and more ambitious projects. AI has made me more agentic, confident, and competent, and I'm excited to see where this goes once I can become a true cyborg.

I agree with the core thesis that we (rationalists) fucked up by abandoning politics... but this post is so badly written. It's painful to read, especially when the core ideas are actually pretty original and insightful. Like a beautiful new laptop being casually tossed in the mud.

I'm worried about discouraging you too much from writing, but... maybe learn to prompt a little better next time? You have good ideas; they just need better presentation.
