Dude, You Broke the Future [video]
Except for the Singularity trashing, this talk feels like a rehash of reading your average Reddit political thread.  I really wanted more than that.  I think the political left viewed dialectical materialism as their futurism and now that that&#x27;s gone with the fall of communism there&#x27;s just doom.  Global warming doom.  Hyper-capitalism doom.  Race war doom.  Overpopulation doom.  Evil AI overlord doom.  They can&#x27;t see the future because they don&#x27;t believe there&#x27;s going to be one.<p>I think this is why China has risen so quickly.  Their government and their society has a positive view of the future that they are implementing.  The west has little in the way of a positive view of the future.  It&#x27;s almost all doom pretty much across the board these days.
