Every time I chat with friends about the future, I hear the same thing: “Man, soon AI will be thinking for us, neural links will control every move, and our digital IDs and social scores will turn us into robots with no freedom of choice.” And you know what I tell them? “Guys, you’re already there.”
Your Brain Is Already on Lock
Let’s be real: your body is already under control. Your mind is packed with programming installed by parents, school, society. We’re soaked in propaganda, thinking about sex, success, and appearance. Our lives are full of mental implants that don’t switch off—unless we decide to unplug them ourselves.
Technology Isn’t Evil—it’s Efficient
All this talk about tech totalitarianism is like being afraid of electricity in the early 1900s. AI isn’t coming for you with a whip. It will give doctors precise guidance, make parents and relatives a little more empathetic, and help government officials understand citizens better. And not all politicians want to hurt us.
Charity and Transportation: The Future is Here
For those who want to make the world better, technology is a super-tool: volunteers and charity projects can work faster and smarter. And transport? Cars will “see” and “listen” to each other, traffic will flow more smoothly, accidents will drop, and roads will become safer. This isn’t sci-fi—it’s the near future.
We’re Only at the Beginning
Right now, AI is basically 1996-level computing: everyone’s heard of it, many use it, but the real potential hasn’t even been tapped. In 10–15 years (maybe sooner), the tech revolution will show what it’s really capable of. People like the Liebermans and Sutskevers will steer it in the right direction—giving a significant part of humanity real freedom and control over themselves.
Fear is for the Weak
Here’s the advice: stop fearing technology. See it as a new kind of “parents” carefully taking the reins of your life. And know this: control doesn’t have to be uncomfortable or harmful. Sometimes, it’s the smartest insurance policy against chaos, inside and out. For more on this, check out menscult.net.
