The story of my life has been getting my skills obsoleted. Using log tables and a slide rule, drafting, circuit board design, magazine layout, building presentations with "press type" on clear plastic sheets. Now they are coming for my programming and computer hacking skillz and forecasting, which I have done professionally since 1981.

I won't buy life inside a silicon paradise. Even if possible, human nature tells me that people more powerful than us will treat us like they always do whenever they can get away with it. Have you read Bruce Bueno de Mesquita's The Predictioneer's Game? He says he can model the behaviors of people in power by assuming they will try to maximize their own goals without regard for bourgeois morality.
