As we continue into the computational age, humanity’s softer skills are in higher demand.
My thesis: hard skills are a product of our immediate environment (write code, bang hammer, assess injury) while soft skills are a product of our culture and context (design a brand, manage a community, console family). AI can parasitically understand a single human faster than it can infiltrate and entire society.
e.g. We sink or swim together (see also: we’re going to need a bigger boat)
