    Wow, I did not expect this essay to be this insightful. I think I now understand how Liu Cixin came up with the main theme of his book "The dark forest". He basically elevated the dark forest archetype to the universe. That's also the reason why it sticks so well with the readers, many even considering it to be one of the best scifi books (including me).

      That's right. I think David should do a follow up and include a specific reference to Liu Cixin's frightening and surreal definition of a Dark Forest. It will blow David's audience's mind!

    See Liu Cixin's Three Body Problem series novel, The Dark Forest. The ultimate definition.

    Sometimes seems like the archetypes are encoded in our DNA.
    Love the content! Would be cool to see the clips match the content a bit better. Thinking of the LOTR clips. Can’t wait for the next episode.

    Okay I'm going to have some fun with it and suggest AGI as Mythic archetype.

      The closest is Big God, actually. Omnipotent, omniscient, omnipresent.

    I did not quite understand what you meant/ were trying to say, when you said cultural appropriation is problematic, especially in relation to the movies you mentioned at the end.
    Thanks for you Videos!

    This is interesting Dave, are you trying to develop a documentary style of delivery? Maybe watch a few Tom Scott productions and model your production / delivery on a first rate professional? I'm not sure I'm completely impressed by your professional editors (my daughter is one of the best) but congratulations for pushing your own boundaries.

    Yes, all societies are based on their stories. We need to build a new sustainable society for Earth, therefore we need new stories, but thjey must based based on old themes. AI will play most of the classic parts in our stories, but which?. We need to write our way to a new society. My third such book is now out.

    Is there a hidden analogy? The AI is the dark forest of our days? If so, then it's a great one!!!
