Is society really trending in the direction where learning to do homework assignments is meaningful?

I think society is moving back toward nature at rapid pace. More adversarial in general, and advantage taking behavior is the way to survive if you don't have a solid community. Society will be culled to a much smaller percentage of people than are present today, and it probably won't be pretty. Smaller communities instead of larger communities, with self-sufficient systems in place and a lot of warfare...

Don't see how AI overlords controlling everything will work out. If no one can buy the food from the large producers, then they will dissolve too. Supply chain will fail at some point in the next couple years maybe? Diesel is already outpacing wages for truckers.

The people with all the money are positioning themselves to reap the assets from others to give themselves as much leverage as possible.

At this point I don't really see how it could go any other way.

I don't know. I'm trying to figure out what's going to happen, but it doesn't really seem like anything good is going to happen because the trend is wanton disregard for morality in exchange for stealing wealth.

Makes me really sad. I'm also on fixed income so I worry quite a lot about my future.
