"It is not the literal past that rules us, save, possibly, in a biological sense. It is images of the past. Each new historical era mirrors itself in the picture and active mythology of its past or of a past borrowed from other cultures. It tests its sense of identity, of regress or new achievement against that past.”

Aaaa, listen, maybe we just have to accept this. Suspend our disbelief, and all that. If we just allow that the AI could have figured out a fantastic way to harness us, we have this fantastic story. Our debates on various aspects of TCTC seem the same at times.
