is an amplifier. The intentions you put into it become larger. It will help save massive numbers of lives and to destroy them. It frees people from drudgery and condemns them to it.
To my mind the most pressing human task is cultivating the maturity and wisdom to use all these amplifiers, but most of humanity seems blind and lost to the most basic moral insights.
With respect to Silicon Valley specifically, it is literally like adding leftwing politics to their to-do allows them to check as done the life task of “Develop moral coherence”.
Introspection and honest sustained silence are foreign to them. No doubt they go on retreats and listen to the usual suspects saying the usual things, but these are more or less ideational objevts they add to their collection.
Two Marvel moments that come to mind: in Ant Man the bad guy meditated. Why not? It might give him an idea that made him money and/or got him more power. As I have noted greed and competitiveness seem to be the main reasons so many Tech executives are microdosing acid.
And Robert Redford, in The Winter Soldier, had a Buddha statue, one we saw shortly before he killed his maid.
As I have said before, most gold does not glitter. Not at least until it is found and purified and polished.
