It is incredible to me how as humans we are capable of harnessing rationality and abstraction in science to the point that such technology has become possible (think from the perspective of someone 200 years ago, the development of physics & math -> electricity -> computers -> the internet -> LLMs) and yet we are still totally incapable of rationally dealing with our different backgrounds and experiences.
We've got about ~200-2000 years of rationality and ~200k-2m years of "outgroup bad"
well usually the few able to actually build stuffs aren’t the one incapable of rationally dealing with different backgrounds and experiences.
Humanity is not homogeneous, we have very smart people and very stupid one.
