The growing challenges of ai πŸ€–… technology… changes in the routines of ✅ now πŸ†š yesterday

All I do/ask/say/analyze/illustrate at thefundamentals is the wide open space… growing gap between education and intelligence; technology and so many new, faster, better, cheaper, safer ways and options for people to get done ✅ in 57++ varieties of the basics of life.  Can the new American πŸ‡ΊπŸ‡Έ culture… economy… advancement in most things that make life possible in a changing environment of abundance, prosperity and wealth... survive?  Nevertheless, large numbers of our population aren’t participating in this changing and yes πŸ‘ sometimes challenging ways of thinking/learning/practicing the advancements of the 21st century.  Isn’t this world (DC/NYC/etc.) still significantly enmeshed/embedded in the last century… or even before?

To me at least, these facts do matter even when they are true and changing and challenging 😰 the old ways of life.   So much is embedded in the establishment – isn’t it?  In real life reality, I can’t predict the future in this technological revolution or whatever you want to call πŸ“ž it!   That’s a fact Jack!   I’m an old guy and I know one thing… we the people of America πŸ‡ΊπŸ‡Έ aren’t having enough kids to even replace ourselves.   I kinda doubt that the people that crossed our borderlands recently are top advanced technological engineers and scientists and even well educated people who are signed up for this rapidly evolving world 🌎 of technology and science 🧬 and change and whatever else comes to mind!

Folks is the world 🌍 at war in a very different form of technological innovation and revolution now?   When that one fellow Elon Musk keeps saying pretty soon, we’ll all be on the 🀚 handout ✋🏾 party 🎊 path line to more money πŸ’° and free time and whatever else is passing through his high IQ schooling of life in the 22nd century era or whatever… I get back to the basics of life.  For the life of me I ain’t got a clue πŸ•΅️‍♀️ to even try to imagine what the H E double L awaits even the few kids we still are having occasionally!

Last comment… is massive uncertainty gonna lead us to paradise or just a pair a 🎲 dice 🎲… huh πŸ€”?  And one more concern/thought – what chance does a vote selling/buying democracy have to survive – huh πŸ€”?  Must a democracy require volunteering to VOTE... and survive?
