I'm getting increasingly pessimistic about technology.
If we don't get an AI wiping us out or some form of unpleasant brain upload evolution, we'll get hooked by superstimuli and stuff. We don't optimize for well-being, we optimize for what we (think we) want, which are two very different things. (And often, even calling it "optimization" is a stretch.)
You think we optimize for what we think we want? That's a stretch in itself. ;)
(Totally agree with what you are saying!)
