   A huge chunk of humans are sedated with infinite supply of cortex-disabling short form video and games.

   Another huge chunk are too distracted by having to scrape by for a living and work multiple jobs or raise kids and survive financially until exhausted. That second group will keep increasing as the first flows into it.

   The rest are aging, disabled, or too young and pegging themselves majorly in the first category until they hit the second.

   The people aware enough to hold on to their brain and do something with it in their time available are trying to figure out AI and how to make money with it. The variable rewards of promoting AI are turning into an addiction with some of them, especially if grasping for straws with little inherent insights into the problems prompted.

   So if you are able to fly above the AI-generated addictions and have the privilege of time to do it, see what you can do.

      This seems to prove too much. It's as though there is some objective meaning of life and we are all to be chastised for failing to recognize it.

         Turns out there is an objective meaning to life, and it's trying to use AI to make money. Phew, I for one am glad to find that out finally. Think of all those poor people who didn't hold on to their brains, what sorry lives they must lead.
