Future Shock Levels
A Shock Level measures the high-tech concepts you can contemplate without being impressed, frightened, blindly enthusiastic - without exhibiting future shock. Shock Level Zero or SL0, for example, is modern technology and the modern-day world, SL1 is virtual reality or an ecommerce-based economy, SL2 is interstellar travel, medical immortality or genetic engineering, SL3 is nanotech or human-equivalent AI, and SL4 is the Singularity.Future Shock Level Analysis
The problem of future shock continues to get increasingly serious as technological progress accelerates; human beings can only absorb so much future shock so fast. This essay explores the phenomenon of future shock and some possible underlying causes, then suggests potential solutions and presents a more detailed version of Yudkowsky's original scale.
