Yes. For my part, I'm involved in as much "heavy lifting" thinking as I can squeeze into my schedule and I invite others to do the same. But I dread the day people become little more than automatons, repeating what technology tells them for that tiny dopamine hit, instead of thinking for themselves and using their time to develop their intellectual capabilities and to inspire others to do the same.
I am hopeful that day will arrive long after I have slipped the bonds of this mortal coil.

Fear for the future tax.

(In Canada) And yet just over 100 yrs ago people were barely literate, didn’t drive and didn’t venture more that 1 mile from their homes.

Books were a rarity and expensive for the average person, manual menial labour was the norm. The average vocabulary was quite small.

This day and age almost everyone is literate and reads, knows of the world and other cultures, if they dont drive they at least have public transit…. And vocabulary is astounding!

I don’t think we are regressing at all, everything changes,

Yes! Small example, but I have almost completely lost my sense of direction since I started relying on GPS.
I used to be quite good at finding my way around. Now I am hopeless without a map app.
I can still get around without gps, by using a map but I am too impatient to these days.
