I cant. I think of a species that evolved at the time soonest after the big bang and is still alive today. Maybe they have? idk Billions of years is a long time.
What is life without struggle, though? Reading through a long tech manual, overcoming failure dozens of times, telling myself "just one more try, you're so close" and the ecstatic feeling of success that follows as I see my project come to fruition. Without it, how do we reaffirm ourselves...?
Digital gods can't take away your ability to struggle purely for the enjoyment of it.
Think of all the things we consider fun or worthwhile that are purely unnecessary struggles. Ever play sports? Build a side project just for the fun of it? Video games? Music? Art?
I think it's even more than affirmation and pride, I think the process is the most critical part of learning. And now we're indulging people who want shortcuts that are going to significantly dull them.
Yeah my point was that without everyday challenges they lose meaning.
How does one create art without understanding struggle? How can someone find love without knowing how to keep it alive?
People need to make mistakes and then reflect deeply on them. We need to integrate our experiences with our beliefs and values in order to find meaningful expression.
I think the only exception to all of this might be abstract puzzles.
People will still keep up the class stratification, because power feels good, and a myriad of other human properties, or failings if you will. So, the problems will also never end.
I think the answer is in the middle. Take the time to take a ton of photos. Then put the camera down and take the time to just live the moment. Both have validity.
