Rather than dismiss doomers maybe we should try to understand them more. Like why even come here to type a negative spin on something you don't know a lot about?

Is it because they only watch CNN and read Washington Post? Or maybe they're depressed in life. Or it could be they're religious and it clashes with their beliefs and annoys them. I knew a guy who was like that

I think it's a combination of watching too many dystopian movies with a mindset that is naturally negative about the future. I really want to see more films like Her. Films that show how AGI and ASI can benefit humanity. There will, of course, be religious holdouts that will never get on board but that's always been the case in society.
