“You cannot create results. You can only create conditions in which something might happen.”

― Anne Bogart

Emergence, or the way that complex systems come from simple parts, is a well-known phenomenon in science and nature. It is how everything from slime moulds to cities to our sense of self arises. It is how bees become a hive, how cells become an organism, how a brain becomes a mind. And it is how humans become humanity.

People might calm down when we take over, but they never become more capable.
