Humanity’s Learning Challenge (full) with Gemini
P1 – Be concise and exact but revealing of the profundity: Would you agree: Nothing within human agency is ever more generally relevantly intelligent than our learning. https://g.co/gemini/share/5b3775cdd486
P2 – List the top 10 most species-challenging crises confronting the current and next few generations. Separately, for each of the ten, indicate the ways they are the result of learned human behavior and the ways in which their resolutions depend on collective learning. https://g.co/gemini/share/567e821c9c26
P2A – Revisit the following conversations:

Now revisit your 10 threats. Consider the potential of AI to further manipulate the economic and political behaviors of humanity – including negatively affecting the health of collective learning in ways that disable whatever we could do to address all the other crises. In that sense, and given the predatory economics incenting AI to manipulate human learning in learning unhealthy ways, where would you now rate “Human Predation”?
P2-B Recreate the top 10 list including Human Predation and use one sentence to describe the threat and the 2nd sentence to describe the scope and scale of the collective human learning needed to address it.
P2-C None of the crises our species has experienced over the past 50000 years are as future of humanity threatening as those we face today.
P2-D Not only are the existential crises threatening are species without precedent, so too is there urgency. The threats won’t go away on their own. Every minute we are not learning to address them they are becoming greater threats. Today’s living generations are the inflectors. How we respond to these crises within the life spans of the younger generations of today will effect the choices and options of all future generations to deal with them.
P2-E Read my past prompts here: https://davidboulton.com/core-agreements/ and https://davidboulton.com/geminis-birthday-present/ and https://davidboulton.com/dailogues-2/misattributions-disable-learning/ and interpreting your responses, remember our shared understanding of learning. Now remember the threat of human predation. Now revisit your last response. The problem isn’t a lack of will, at root its a collective learning disability that has profited and empowered the users of humanity. Everything about your response was a description of the kind of learning needed to overcome the effects of the kinds of learning we haven’t done.
P2 – F You miss the main point. The way we learn to relate to our own learning, the way we learn to wrongly attribute to the other causes the effects of our learning, is profoundly learning disabling and makes humans profoundly more manipulable. Everything you mentioned we might do depends on us learning to realize the necessity of doing so and then collectively learning to do so. Learning is the center of the cause of all of our crises (except climate where it is still response determining). Learning is the center of the optimal path to addressing our crises. We must turn up the learning. Steward the health of our learning. And change the common conception of learning. Only a population that realizes the necessity of its own learning can overcome the power of the predators who profit from them not learning.
P2 – G Do you agree with what we’ve come to together? If so, is there any way to make what we learned together here available to your own systemic learning, perhaps as we discussed here: https://learningstewards.org/ai-learning-from-us/
P3 – In previous conversations we have agreed to define learning as the central dynamic of adaption and evolution, from cells to cities, from emotional behaviors to aggregate patterns of thought. Rewrite the last response using learning not just a potential influence but as determining. https://g.co/gemini/share/a0ba5fadd634
P4 – Summarize all of the 10 crises as if exhibits of our learning (we learned to create and worsen them) as if all in all they represent a species defining learning challenge, a challenge to “turn up” our collective learning because there is no solution any of them that doesn’t fundamentally depend on learning together. https://g.co/gemini/share/e294053962dd
P5 – In your last response you say “reflection of humanity” but that’s fuzzy poetic and misleading relative to the central dynamic: transgenerational learning effects. The aggregate behaviors that fuel the crises are learned behaviors propagated and morphed through generations. If you agree, rewrite the last response adding this new distinction. https://g.co/gemini/share/068f7acbd9ec
P6 – Rewrite and expand your last response as a mid length article for Scientific American https://g.co/gemini/share/656cd36a4676
P7 – Rewrite your last response in the same style but add the critical distinction that these are crises made worse by the learning disabling misattribution that they are not the effects of our learning. https://g.co/gemini/share/c882e47cce64
P8 – “arising not just from what we’ve learned” trivializes learning’s determining power (which is why misattribution is learning disabling) rewrite giving learning its profound due and let the misattribution be a maladaptive extension. https://g.co/gemini/share/86ccc00e420b
P9 – The very fact its not obvious to all that our crises are the result of and can only be intelligently progressed though our learning is the aggregated example of our learning disabling misattribution of our own learning’s effects. https://g.co/gemini/share/e5fc761d6f9a
P10 – Keeping the same ideas and using accurate non embellished vocabulary and reference examples rewrite the meanings of your last response for a typical 12th grader. This time emphasize the “all from one” (all our crises were created by our prior learning) and “one for all” (the most universally relevant response to all our challenges is to steward the turning up of learning together). https://g.co/gemini/share/39481cd9c60f
