The Great Divide: Two Types of People in the Future

自從有小孩之後，眼睛都會自然注意到生活中有孩子的家庭，小孩的表情、與父母的互動等。餐桌狀態又是一個觀察點，現在太多丟一個螢幕讓小孩邊吃邊看了。除了研究早已證明的會讓小孩注意力耐心下降，追求刺激之外。搭配上AI 世代，絕對不是那種「我們小時候還不是看電視」這種類比。我覺得未來人類更是一種「智性」與「殭屍」的強烈兩極，雖然跟隨規則而生的人類（自動導航）一直存在，但是未來，我覺得只會更凸顯，越來越平庸、同質、麻木的一群，與激烈獨立思考的人性。
Since having kids, I’ve found myself naturally drawn to other families—watching the children’s expressions and how they interact with their parents. The dinner table is a particularly telling observation point. These days, it’s so common to see a screen plopped in front of a child just to get them to eat.

Beyond the proven research about decreased attention spans and the constant craving for overstimulation, we are now in the AI era. This isn't the same as the old "we watched TV when we were kids" argument. I believe humanity is heading toward two extremes: the "Intellectual" and the "Zombie." While people who live on "autopilot" have always existed, the future will only amplify this gap. We’ll see a growing mass of the mediocre, the homogenized, and the numb, contrasted against those with fierce, independent human thought.
