The most tricky element now of integrating technology into our lives might not be the potential loss of jobs due to automation or the threat of an AI becoming self-aware enough to take over our military complex—Terminator with Skynet or Wargames with War Operation Plan Response (WOPR); it may well be our penchant for passivity, to let the computer or the android or the algorithm take over the thinking- and decision-making process. If Autotune can correct fluctuations with singing, why strive for excellence? If cars can drive themselves, why should humans even learn? A hallmark of the human condition has been, until now, that we have been masters at wondering and learning. Few in our ranks have been obsessed enough or trained sufficiently to surpass the “normal” condition and become superlative, transforming into true experts and combining disparate disciplines in a wildly creative process.
