RE: Victims of Success

in Reflections • 22 days ago

Imagine how many of our health problems we would have the knowledge and motivation for fix before they happened if we knew it was gonna happen. Then the immortal feeling we have convinces us it couldn’t happen to us.

I was reading a friends comments on the announcement that a bone density medication was found to cause another serious condition. The friend is a doctor I met through martial arts so he knows health problems lens well and is active. His comment on the finding was along the lines of how about we maintain a healthy and active lifestyle so we don’t have to take medication for the consequences. Medication that causes more consequences.

Convenience and languishing certainly is a slippery slope huh?

        If there is a decent usecase for AI, AR and VR combined, it is to be able to get us to experience how we will feel in the future, given our current track. Imagine being able to live the life as an eighty year old you for a few days, when you are twenty.

        The problem is, people will instead use it to make themselves feel better now, so they can ignore their actual health.

        Convenience and languishing certainly is a slippery slope huh?

        Anything to distract us from doing what we actually need.
