[QUOTE="jack action, post: 6842601, member: 240508"] Humans are not flawed. They are the result of millions of years of evolution that gave them the capacity to adapt to an ever-changing environment. The problem you are hoping to solve with your statement is to determine the thin line between boldness and recklessness. The former is the courage to take risks, and the latter is taking unnecessary risks. One is a quality, the other is a flaw. The only true way of determining whether an action is part of one category or the other is to evaluate the end result. Personally, I think that as living beings get life experience, they classify more and more decisions as being reckless rather than bold, which reduces them to do less and less until they do nothing. And that is why one must die and get replaced by a new - inexperienced - being that will see life as an exciting adventure rather than an obstacle course, impossible to get by. AI will not be able to determine better than us where that frontier is; better than any living being on this Earth, for that matter. It's the randomness of life that makes it impossible. Even if all probabilities say you will most likely die if you do an action, one must try it once in a while to verify that it is still true. The more people try and don't lose, the clearer the path becomes and more and more people can follow it. It's the only way you can adapt to an ever-changing environment. This is the true reason why most of us don't want to ban drunk drivers: they don't always get it wrong even if they don't always get it right. An example of an action that always returns a bad consequence is drinking a cleanser made of pure ammonia. This is such a clear reckless act that we don't even feel the need to have a law to forbid it. Smoking cigarettes? Not every smoker dies of a smoking-related disease. Some smokers use it to help them cope with anxiety, which may give them a life that they wouldn't have dreamed of otherwise. Is there another way that could be better? Maybe. But nature doesn't care. As long as life finds its way through, it's good enough. [/QUOTE]
