There is only one weapon to counter what you post and it is education. A look at history shows how much less war,violence, racism and misogyny there is today than ever before.

Around the planet the young educated kids are challenging the old cultures of racism, misogyny, homophobia and caste systems and promoting peace and equality of all people.in every country.

I agree technology is taking us toward a dangerous human singularity and our primitive cultures norms and mores are not going to help us. The only thing that will help us is education and especially education of the women.

If I was Bill Gates and had 50 billion dollars I would spend every dime on educating the females around the planet. They are our best chance for survival as shown in this last US election.

But here is the main issue. We are racing headlong towards a future where the change has been and will continue to be *rapid*. So rapid is this change that, unlike in times past, our societies do not have the time or to tools to develop corresponding myths and rituals. These were things that instructed societies in past days ...... instructed in important ways. That instruction has been replaced by confusion and noise. As a result the disorder will only increase. The West tries to dump its "ethics" and "morals" onto the East along with its technology. Some of it may stick. We will get the same in return. In any case, both societies will eat each other from the inside out, because what was once available is no longer available. And as the elders die out, so will the ways to reach these things, along with the shamans and medicines of the old cultures.

Will algorithms and technology replace what we are losing and have lost? No. :)
