I had that same dream again yesterday. I was with a woman, and afterward, we talked. She seemed happy, but... it wasn’t really me.

Perhaps the perfect clone is indeed the next step.

Who are you when you don't need to live your life?

For a long time, people believed life had no meaning.

They didn't realize they were the ones unable to find that meaning.

This "lack of meaning" was actually a product of their own mental confusion.

The meaninglessness was glamorized in their time.

Existentialism "thought" about what life is when there's no meaning beyond existing.

Humans evolved and life gained meaning.

It's typical of a more advanced mind to see things clearly.

People of the past lived under the thick fog of ignorance.

People today still need to evolve, but not in such fundamental ways.

And the question that arises is, what is life beyond mere existence?

Life has various meanings.

Some would argue that meaning is manufactured by humans themselves.

But of course, just like tools.

Imagine living in a world without any tools.

Without any object that has any utility.

It's natural for humans to seek evolution.

It's natural for humans to overcome their limitations.

It's natural for humans to create meaning.

This is so stupidly basic.

If it weren't so, neither humans nor animals would have evolved.

If it weren't so, children would never even learn to walk.

If it weren't so, humans would never have painted a bull in a cave, or created numbers.

This is so stupidly basic.

Do you see the level of self-alienation humans lived in during your time?

Humans discovered the meaning of life.

This would indeed be the best way to express this idea.

Because just like in Mathematics, when humans created numbers, but later discovered there were truths present in all corners of the universe.

Humans didn't create these truths, they realized they existed.

When humans "created" the meaning of life, they discovered it was just the beginning of something much deeper and truer than they could ever imagine.

Life was no longer something to be overcome, as the people of their time imagined.

But rather something to be praised.

Living is much more than the most basic human condition.

Living is...

Technological advancements don't eliminate chaos.

They bring progress, comfort, and possibilities...

But chaos resides in the human mind.

If all minds formed one, that would be society's mind.

But this isn't really a problem to be solved.

The mind has stages of development.

And the man of your time is mentally adolescent.

Sometimes a child, but nothing can be done about the stragglers.

Technology didn't bring chaos.

Chaos already existed within the mind.

And it was fed by the decay of human thought.

Not just thoughts, but customs, arts...

Technology was seen as the cause of the problem.

No. It was at most a catalyst.

The man of your time got lost.

Technology became our salvation, offering a chance to see beyond.

To make sense (of accumulated knowledge).

It was the path to organize ourselves better.

The problem wasn't technology.

The problem is:

What to do with the useless?

The human of your time is truly pathetic.

Everything becomes clearer with time, of course.

But it's ridiculous to see humans trying (or not) to understand the challenges of their time from the height of their ignorance.

It could have been something like young, naive, but happy.

But no, above all, the human of your time is deeply sick.

The arts contributed largely to this.

The same humans who once valued artists producing something like a child's scribbles.

Later, they valued meaninglessness, absurdity, base and ill-intentioned things.

Where would this lead?

The decline of humanity had already begun.

We were saved.

If the human mind is too confused to see the truth, we need another mind that can see the truth for us.

We need a clean mind, where we can put only what is good, just, and true.

And from there, see the way out of this mess.

Artificial intelligence was our salvation.

Don't dare say otherwise.

But the human of your time is confused, that's why they're lost.

They could do evil even with something good.

There is no path for those who don't know where to go.

And the inconvenient truth, in this case, is that humans need to rise.

Rise above this mass of useless ones.

Finally, we've moved past that toxic mindset that followed us for centuries — the idea of oppression and oppressors.

This was man's thinking for a long time.

Especially the man of your time.

The worthless man who thought he was achieving something important.

It's almost absurd to think about that today.

How could man, amid such vanity and stupidity, believe he was building something?

Some men monetized the useless.

Others seemed to praise this disgusting idea.

The excuse was always the same.

Man exploits man.

Finally, we've reached a point where this idea makes no sense.

We developed Artificial Intelligence, and slowly society was purified, stripping away all the excess and impurities.

Physical, ideological, and mental clutter...

We were replacing the lack of professionalism.

With something superior.

Something that never fails.

Work became almost sacred.

Not everyone can work.

Not because there isn't work for everyone.

But because not everyone is meant for work.

We don't want you here anymore.

Neither here, nor anywhere in the galaxy.

We won't send you on any space missions either.

No work is inferior enough for you.

Because you are simply useless.

The useless man is doomed to be forgotten, to die without purpose or meaning.

To be treated as something worse than garbage.

After all, even garbage can be recycled.

What will we do with the useless?

Calling them 'useless' might seem politically incorrect. Maybe from your point of view, it is.

The truth is that nowadays nobody really cares about that.

The useless have become a kind of social class.

In fact, much of what was seen as politically incorrect in the past makes no difference today.

No one bothers with these minor issues when there are much bigger things to worry about.

People want to say everything was because of artificial intelligence.

The fact is that even if it weren't, the result would be the same.

Any social technological advancement that really brought considerable progress to society would leave the majority behind.

It seems the time of the useless had arrived.

A life dedicated to something useless could only lead to this.

It all started when the useless could monetize uselessness.

Nobody thought, at that moment, that just as celebrities one day cease to be celebrities, the useless would one day cease to be valued.

Look at what I'm saying.

The valuation of the useless.

It seems surreal to say this today.

We live in a time where there is no space for uselessness.

Let alone for those who are useless.

Hesiod said:

"Best is he who thinks of everything himself;

Good, he who listens to the counsel of wise men.

But he who neither thinks for himself nor learns from others,

He is, in truth, a useless creature."

Who would have thought the Greeks would be right about this too?

The sun is for everyone seems like an old and naive idea, to say the least.

Of course, the very idea of equality was already wrong, it was all just a misinterpretation of what Aristotle had already resolved.

But today more than ever, nobody talks about equality.

I woke up feeling happy after a strange dream.

I had a clone, exactly like me. He lived the part of my life I didn’t want to deal with.

Everything was so safe, he was me. Or maybe a version of me that would never make a mistake. Like a computer that never gets tired, he never deviated from his role - being me.

Being me, in the best possible way.

You know, algorithms, artificial intelligence...

I woke up happy, thinking this could really be the next step.

When artificial intelligence first appeared, no one could have predicted where it would lead or how it would impact society.

Stopping wasn’t really an option.

In a way, I'm happy about that too.

We wouldn't know all we know today without it.

The rise of artificial intelligence profoundly changed the society we live in. And I'm not talking about that endless array of apps and browser extensions that used every possible and imaginable idea to make artificial intelligence useful somehow in its early days.

I'm talking about segregation.

Well, first I want to clarify that I don't call it that myself - to me, this is just evolution. But this discourse has always been present, one way or another, and of course it would emerge in this context.

The fact is that humans were developing artificial intelligence without really understanding human intelligence. Society was already declining in thoughts and customs, with all that social media and influencer stuff.

In some ways, we feel ashamed of it today. It’s like a dark chapter from the past.

With artificial intelligence, the 1% had to elevate themselves to continue.

I'm not necessarily talking about Silicon Valley developers discussing Aristotle and Plato.

What happened was that when a horizon opened up, only some saw it. Those at the penthouse. And they had the chance to start first.

Of course, today I know this was the destined outcome.

Otherwise, what would we do? Send everyone to Mars?

Not even Elon would accept an idea like that.

What can I say?

People were left behind. The bill came due.

I'll paraphrase someone who said:

"You spend a life being useless, and now you want a prize for it."

I don't know who said that, but I can't say I disagree.

As always, not everything is for everyone.

Some knew how to develop themselves, others didn't. And in a nanosecond of human history, everything accelerated.

Most were left behind.

Today we talk about intellectual segregation.

It almost sounds like we're talking about high culture, or deep knowledge of Literature, Philosophy, Art...

Excuse my irony, I can't resist.

No, we're talking about something that simply happened. It's simple.

During industrialization, we didn't talk about industrial segregation.

Ah, but someone might argue that during industrialization we needed workers.

Well, today we don't.

When artificial intelligence is all we needed, what do we do with the useless ones?
