Tools are changing humans #substack #shorts

I do think that the tools change a human. I think that's, that's part of what we do, or at least they have us think about ourselves in a different way. So I could illustrate with a story. Please do. So I was sitting with, um, Garth. We were just hanging out as friends at the Explorers Club fireside, Explorers Club. And these young guys were in the other room. They had a robot and it was robotic arms. That were sitting on a table and being curious guys, we, we said, hey, what are you guys working at? What are you doing? There was some conference going on upstairs. These guys were clearly part of that conference, but we wanted to learn from them. These young guys started talking to us about what project they were working on. They were working on the first robot that would be in the space station. It was at a more, you know, it had two arms. It had no torso. It just had two arms. And what we started talking about was the idea that they had learned that they had to make their robot friendly. And I found that very curious. And I said, what does that mean? And they said, well, if you think about interacting with humans, if I were to get really close to you and talk to you, or I move too fast or I move too slow, and my likability, this kind of unwritten rule of what we are as humans, my likability goes down. And so what they had to think through is what makes us most human that I can reflect in this experience so that as humans, we can interact with it in a more meaningful and a more helpful way.
