Gs-4 : Ethics / Essay
๐ พ๏ธHow will AI impact the future?- Jobs scenario
โ๏ธPeople either think AI will take all our jobs and make a few people super-rich, or they think AI will make so much wealth that everyone can live without working
๐ พ๏ธThe overlooked issue: Even if AI makes us all wealthy, the real problem might be how people will feel about themselves if they don't have to work. Will this be good for them mentally?
๐Even if people have money, losing their jobs can cause depression, anxiety, and even shorten lives. Work gives people a sense of purpose.Simply giving people money without jobs might not solve the deeper problems of losing meaning and purpose in life.So the biggest challenge with AI and jobs might not be about money. It might be the emotional and mental impact on people who don't have meaningful work to do, even if they have enough money to live.

พ๏ธOne of the purest emotions is genuine appreciation for someone who surpasses you. In life's dark moments, feeling true happiness for a friend's success is priceless๐.
โ๏ธDear rankers, if you have such people in your life, cherish them. This hype fades, but true support endures. Your circles will naturally shift โ that's growth. But when those who supported you face darkness, be their light, however small. It means the world to them. Let us all make this nation a better place to live because koi bhi desh perfect nahi hota hai- you know the rest....๐
To the person who inspires this message: You are not alone. I respect your privacy, but I promise a day in the future where things look bright again, at least I will try๐. This post is my testament, a reminder for us both when you are okay again..
This is dedicated to all fighters amongst us. Thank you for inspiring me. Your story will be shared when the time is right. Until then, let us work in silence- it defines us๐

๐ พ๏ธWhat is Humility in Public Discourse?
๐ฐAns : Humility in public discourse refers to the ability to engage in discussions and debates with a sense of respect, openness, and self-awareness. It emphasizes understanding and valuing the perspectives of others, acknowledging one's own limitations, and refraining from personal attacks or aggressive rhetoric.
๐ พ๏ธFirst-Order and Second-Order Claims: First-order claims focus on the merits of actions and decisions.
Second-order claims evaluate individuals' character based on their views, often leading to personal attacks.
Dismissing first-order concerns and focusing on second-order claims creates a hypocritical and divisive environment.
๐ พ๏ธImpact of Polarization: Personal attacks and hate speech prevent meaningful dialogue and create divisions.
