May I make a human advancement suggestion which has very little to do with technology?<p>Teach about cognitive bias. Tech it at a <i>fundamental</i> level -- like, starting in 1st grade, with annual refreshers thereafter. Give cognitive bias an equal place at the table alongside reading, writing, and arithmetic.<p>Many cognitive biases are deeply rooted in biological and social structures -- but with awareness and training, they can be overcome. Without awareness and training, they can be profoundly destructive, and certainly limit the scope of human advancement.<p>So before we start pimping out our metacortexes or whatever, let&#x27;s see if we can&#x27;t overcome some of the less salutary whisperings of our old and honestly pretty useless reptilian brains. We can be better than that.
