the future is yesterday

how we think about superpowers and how we think about AI are very similar, our evolution has been historically fast but a lot more gradual experientially. look at us having a real time conversation with the hive mind right now, learning any skill we need as soon as we need it, telepathically pressing each others' buttons from around the world, slowly but gradually being assisted more and more by hardware and software that enhances and equalises (prosthetics, drugs)... one of the reasons most of us have a gratitude deficiency is that our baseline expectations have dramatically increased at the same time as our awareness has broadened to include ALL the issues around the world simultaneously, and our power to affect change hasn't caught up fast enough with our rapidly evolving need to be heroes.
