But with ambitious spears they made us change They crouched behind their mirrors and fought on.

I go back to “know thyself” as a solution, but I think it needs to happen at species scale due to the times, so it needs to effectively be a lot more addictive than heretofore. ML is perfect for this, because one uses one’s own data, so no artists or even corporations are being ripped off. If the buttons that others are pushing can be understood, all kinds of manipulation might be stymied.
Such an app would need to be a tetris-like way to understand emotions, to golf cart around Plato’s cave before going deeper with a flashlight to see what tunnels time has made, giving a feeling of being understood as an incentive. I’ve been working on one of the two apps that popped into my head for that (Phobrain), and just open sourced a workbench for building a representation of self by labeling ‘Rorschach pairs’ of pics yes/no. The other app would be worry beads with axial sensing and force feedback, with vibration and temperature also possible. Aside from exploring oneself and holding the hand of god, one might hold hands with someone around the world or across the table in a meeting, or carry the beads in one’s underwear—there should be enough today’s-world possibilities there for moneymaking products that could be adapted for next-world understanding.
This feels like I’m not addressing the formal risk aspect for the industry, but that angle of discussion seems unlikely to withstand the changes that the first ‘killer app’ that decides a battle or war will bring. The momentum of evolution with war will not be stopped by people discussing it, only by choosing a new model at a species scale.
