dont you think ai vs humans matters way more than west vs east right now?
pretty much every big tech leap rewired the social system.
farming created surplus, so captives were worth more as slaves than as dinner. clans → slave societies.
heavy plow + stirrup made grain and knights the core of power. slavery → feudalism.
industry made free labor valuable, guns ended the knight monopoly, new classes forced voting and parliaments. feudal states → the modern state.
ai is a bigger jump than any of those.
the east/west fight is real, but it’s still a sideshow.
