Just wait until you can’t tell the difference and then contemplate if it matters, and then if that’s what reality already is.

I think a lot of complexity is introduced in our world today as the economics require complexity for certain demographics to survive. Complexity generates profits.

It also erodes the peak innovation potential of the entire species by increasing the distance to experiment and be curious while also creating greater need of dependence to survive.

I think a lot of your examples can be fixed.

Nuclear Power Plants are simple actually - they need to be simple. Complexity kills them, and human's are the weakest link. Process is introduced to ail complexity. Complex ideas introduce more complex processes to include more humans which ends up creating less efficiency. Many examples of that. A big reason why startups can compete with corporations is that startups have less complexity but then introduce more as they age usually through poor problem-solving and get slower. Companies like Apple have punched above the average weight to survive those chasms of complexity and still move quickly unburdened but obviously they have their own class of warts.

Agree with you but also I think we can do better is basically what I'm saying. I don't see the world today as "this is just how it is and that's that" - there's no physical rules why we have a society the way it is today - it's mostly imaginative rules. I want to change the game, the current board is lame.

Curious how people are using SpaCy in production with constant improvement of the model and how that workflow happens from user input & review.
