Harrari on humans

> in the industrial revolution of the 19th century what Humanity basically learned to produce was all kinds of stuff like textiles and shoes and weapons and vehicles and this was enough for very few countries that underwent the revolution fast enough to subjugate everybody else

what we're talking about now is like a Second Industrial Revolution but the product this time will not be textiles or machines or vehicles or even weapons the product this time will be humans themselves.

we are basically learning to produce bodies and Minds bodies and minds are going .... the two main products of the next wave of all these changes and if there is a gap between those that know to produce bodies and minds and those that do not then this is far greater than anything we saw before in history and this time if you're not part of the Revolution fast enough then you probably become extinct

once you know how to produce bodies and brains and Minds so cheap labor in Africa or South Asia wherever it simply counts for nothing

again I think the biggest question ... maybe in economics and politics of the coming decades will be what to do with all these useless people

I don't think we have an economic model to for that, my best guess which is , just a guess, is that food will not be a problem uh with that kind of Technology you will be able to produce food for to feed everybody the problem is more important ... what to do with them and how will they find some sense of meaning in life when they are basically meaningless worthless

my best guess at present is a combination of drugs and computer games

Re:Dance Choreography Notation on Saturday September 07, 2024 @03:16PM (#41475794)
also, this article misses a few notations and anecdotes.

laban was commissioned in the 20s to use his method to optimize factory worker motion to increase early assembly-line productivity.

bat-sheva, a fairly known dance group in the 90/00 uses Eshkol Wachman movement notation and employ a dedicated team of dance notation writers to write and teach it to new dancers. maybe im behind the times, but i still find this magic. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dSHuhhO5VIU

Re:Dance Choreography Notation on Saturday September 07, 2024 @03:08PM (#41475749)
[1989] Merce Cunningham used a software called LifeForms[1] (later DanceForms) developed in colab with SFU researchers. producing over a dozen pieces including Ocean and BIPED[2]. its still online and used to have (~10years ago) the license key as plain text on the download page. i see its now ~200$...

so he did the reverse, start with digital notation and move to flesh.
