That’s a big if. And “real world” is shakey too. Yr running with a stretchy hypothetical here.

Except for poetry. When you wake up from your dreamcoffin you’ll still have your poetry skills and a few memorized poems.

First : the algorithm predicts thar our behavior today will be like our behavior yesterday. Which makes sense.

Second : what you eat determines how you poop. And they do control what we eat. So that makes sense too.

So both work together.

It might be voice to text. It sometimes gets carried away.

Just put little silver skulls on the front of your hats already.

“informed”

Lol

But I kid. Your logic fails to escape the box I propose, I think. I think that only direct observation achieves good reliability. That and maybe conversation with personal friends.

Beyond that, big nope. It’s the epistemological equivalent of drinking out of lead cups except the damage is quicker.

Everybody say it all together now…

I’m an intelligent, autonomous, free-thinking individual!

So get your fluoride some other way, like in the toothpaste. Everybody wins.

I appreciate your concern. But to your first point.

Intelligence is biased towards intelligent expression and interpretation. That limits it, in expression and perspective. Seeing through intelligence-colored glasses. Expressing though an intelligence-preferring filter.

But we are larger than our intelligence. And this larger form has its own expressions.

Though we, as individuals and a culture, are in the habit of ignoring this larger self. It exists. Like the invisible part of an iceberg underwater.

If you had to guess, what form would this “loss of social skills and non-mating” take in a human population?
