The main thing driving human behavior which is nearly always brushed off as reductionest and replaced with all the musings fo centuries of philosophy and psychology is every living animal, humans being at the top of the list are primarily focused on not suffering and dying, not having their loved ones suffer and die. Thats it bottom line. Sure we can come up with endless thoughts in and around the fact but that only serves to muddy the waters.
There is one way and one way only that humans have to address this primary motivation and that is money.
There I have laid it out clear and simple. I am sure I will get lots of criticism but no one can disprove it,
Hi Jef, you’ll get no criticism from me. I’ve just completed a paper on human cognitive coevolution, and one of the central results is very close to what you’re describing for the last 10k years. Before that small groups cooperated on shared outcomes for 7 million years of exponential cognitive evolution. Now people prioritize education and career past their reproductive prime and world total fertility rate is fast falling below replacement. Do you think this trend will stop on its own?

So how does AI deal with that?
