My plan is to run for President or get into politics atleast. Watching all these Geezers having the time of their lives in their 70s and 80s has made up my mind. Just look at Ralf Nader, Ron Paul and Rush Limbaugh ranting and raving away with the energy of 10 year olds. It's that social mojo they are tapping into man. If I can wake up everyday troll the country, get a pat on the back from my buddies in my 90s...I think I'll die reasonably happy.

To vague. What do you want to achieve in this role? Varies a lot depending on personality type.
Some people get their kicks from keeping everything running smoothly. Some people want to shape a product or a process. Some want to shape the entire company etc etc

> A trigger for this mission came from a landmark Delhi High Court judgment in 2016. The case revolved around Rameshwari Photocopy Services, a shop on the campus of the University of Delhi. For years, the business had been preparing course packs for students by photocopying pages from expensive textbooks. With prices ranging between 500 and 19,000 rupees (US$7–277), these textbooks were out of reach for many students. In 2012, Oxford University Press, Cambridge University Press and Taylor and Francis filed a lawsuit against the university, demanding that it buy a license to reproduce a portion of each text. But the Delhi High Court dismissed the suit. In its judgment, the court cited section 52 of India’s 1957 Copyright Act, which allows the reproduction of copyrighted works for education. Another provision in the same section allows reproduction for research purposes.
Good job India.
I think the ant brain and the human brain are extremely different. I bet the ants are not capable of feeling loneliness, they don't have enough neurons for that.
That's true. Maybe we are going through a transition where we shed some :) There is lots of evidence for it.
Wikimedia uses ES and you can download their entire index for any of their sites wikipedia/travel/quotes etc.
Ants don't meet at the bar at the end of the day to chill with each other. It isn't necessary. And their society isn't unraveling.
The more connected the human ant hill gets the more we will behave like ants. Disconnected because we don't need to be as connected. Connected because that is the only way to survive. Those that can't handle the change...wont. This is a process of societal metamorphosis whose tracks have already been laid.

It takes time to adjust to hyperconnection. But the benefits will keep showing up and pushing things in the direction of more connection. Look at the number of collaborators on the Black Hole image or gravitational wave detection. You will see things like that increase. And as they increase we learn how to do things better.

Unless you conclude "dumb luck".
Lots of people worked at making it look like "dumb luck". That point gets missed. What they did is not well understood by most people who cry about the dangers of the next pandoras box.

He is great, but how to put it politely? His enthusiasm for technology and future possibilities blinds him to the reality that many things take longer than what we would wish , and that science requires lot of sluggish, dull work in order to advance.
While this is true, one thing that has changed a lot is how connected all the research labs of the world are across the planet and how that rate is increasing. While it creates a lot of chaos, distraction and trust issues to work through, the scope and scale of collaboration is on the rise which means a lot of work is getting parallelized.
Think of it as a shift from single core to multicore. Dull stuff is going to happen faster than it used too.
