Episode 167: Abundance Doesn’t Exist Until Someone Builds It | K.G.I. Podcast

Driving across America, I turned on the radio. A pastor was preaching about taking responsibility for your life, for your actions, for the people around you. One station later, a socialist was talking about dividing abundance among people. But abundance doesn’t exist by itself. Someone builds it, and you can see it from the road: everything this country is, people built with hard work. The AI abundance proponents make the same mistake. Humans don’t need comfort; they need struggle and meaning. Give people everything they want, and they’ll find something to resent. Inside each of us there’s a voice: call it God, intuition or the gut feeling. The noise of the flesh drowns it out, and then we start craving what everyone else craves. It doesn’t matter what you want from life. It matters what life wants from you. An AI that studies its creator until it can’t tell the two apart is the story of my novel Mythos.
