"You’re just going to walk right past it and start knitting your neurons to machinery and stuff?"

Yes, that's what we're going to do Caitlin, although not necessarily 'walk past' our deeper selves. That question is up in the air.

But yeah, one of our hopes is that augmentations will help us to overcome many of our biases. Being aware of our cognitive limitations in itself does not prevent the mistakes.

Although augmentation could turn out to be the nightmare that you are trying to warn us of, I'm willing to take the risk. We're screwed as a species, I don't trust even my own judgment half the time, and I certainly don't trust people who obsessively declare themselves Progressive or Libertarian. We need external assistance.
