how pathetic is it that instead of digesting and appreciating this work i’m envying the intelligence and articulation/literary skills of the author

It’s basically over reliance on technology makes us dumber than when we first made said technology. And the longer we rely on it the worse it gets. The raised floor is just an example of it. It’s like AI and how we use it for everything right now.

Very well written. I think the core idea is genuinely interesting, especially the way you unified it under the “Raised Floor Problem.” That said, Im not sure its entirely new, since philosophers and thinkers have long discussed how technology and comfort can weaken certain human capacities. I also think there are some exceptions. A calculator may reduce mental arithmetic skills, but a microscope dofsnt weaken our eyesight, it extends our abilities beyond their natural limits. And historically, while individuals 500 years ago were often more self sufficient, society as a whole was capable of far less. So the trade off may be more complex than simple atrophyy. Still, its a thoughtful and good way of framing the problem.

your essay acknowledges its scope is universal cognitive, physical, social, psychological. But if the Raised Floor Problem applies everywhere, it applies to language, agriculture, writing, and medicine without exception. you say this "is not a counsel of despair" but never explains why not, given that the dilemma is described as structurally inescapable and universal. If there is no floor-free baseline to return to, what exactly is the claim doing?

Very well written, the comments saying “ai summarize this for me” are funny bc it goes hand in hand with the dilema you’re describing 😭

I do not fully agree with the idea that this always makes people less competent though. It seems more accurate to say that it shifts where competence is required rather than simply removing it. I also think this connects to the current fear around AI. A lot of people assume it will make everyone less capable, but it might instead create a divide between people who rely on it passively and those who understand how to use it effectively. What stood out to me is that this pattern feels recursive. Every time we solve a problem, we introduce a new one within the same system, which then requires another solution. In that sense, solutions are not permanent, they need to be maintained and constantly adapted forever it seems like it. kind of funny how i can also connect this to liberal and conservatives in slide 7 it's kind of the same definition without the nuances people have put in it. Unrelated: the song hits when reading lowkey sets my mood for reading instead of scrolling

Late to the party on this one, great paper!! Had a nice read with it and honestly it describes a dillema which I'm sure has at least crossed through someone's mind be that directly or indirectly, usually in the form of expressing their logical disdain for the redundancy of reducing the floors atrophy. I would say that the text sometimes can come off as slightly redundant, especially with the references to the floor and how it cannot separate benefit and risk being homogenous throughout what feels like the whole dillema. Besides that, the vocabulary is stimulating, it creates an interesting way of looking at technological progress and it's innate individualistic fragility, I think what really shined through is your writing ability and argumentantive skill, accounting for common misconceptions of the argument and explaining the substance of this paper thoroughly throughout. Great read!

lmao just say abstraction 😭. this is a well known thing that is fine within society, since theres only a vulnerability of reasonable concern if u limit the scope to the common individual. for example, people still use asm/c even though high level programming languages are extremely popular. i just skimmed but i dont really see you mention multiple specific examples, despite u mentioning that this applies to technology broadly?

This is actually very interesting, I work in shipping and we try to mitigate the “raised floor” as much as possible. Many maritime incidents are actually caused by a lack of understanding and the floor failing in the harsh maritime environment. Keep up the good work, it was a great read

The mechanism for which "original capacity is lost" (the crux of this framework arguably) remains elusive here and the exponentiality of this is even more nebulous- though I don't disagree that you're describing real phenomena, the frame itself requires a tether to reality to not bleed its utility out like this ... this would be much more interesting from a world-oriented continental philo posture

The argument is pretty logical, if you aren't claiming the raised floor to be either completely good or completely bad

Possibly most effectively pointing at the need to preserve the actionability/expandability from the point the floor is raised, while making it significantly easier to access the foundation of knowledge and advancement. Both are poorly done in modern day but emphasizing the latter. There are simplifications that work better if your goal is to achieve a certain outcome, the issue nowadays is that there isn’t much infrastructure except for AI to make more esoteric-appearing text accessible, and also that AI can miss critical difficult-to-identify nuances in perspective. It’s often expected that you must learn some technical theory within STEM to pick up on that nuance, which is a good mechanism for getting people involved in that theory but very inconvenient for those who are trying to pick the subject up for a specific purpose (like learning math to create models of the market; there aren’t many defined skill-tree like progressions or useful simplifications, and people may point you towards the fundamentals to get started, irrespective of whether they assess it to be most effective based on their own experience or what might work for others). The point is moreso to have good scaffolding and teaching methods to get someone from point A to B instead of running them through a ton of commercials for other subjects; though it’s understandable given how costly this would be in effort. There are ways around that, but this isn’t the point. Due to this phenomenon there’s always gap in complexity between someone learning the subject through the foundational subjects, and just picking them up on the job/project/activity. The raised floor can likely be combatted through implementing more of these structures and investing more effort into information infrastructure & informational actionability (IIE), while also simultaneously ensuring what we develop as our floor improves IIE. A useful perspective for this could be to separate the “floor” into that which does or does not improve IIE, where improvement both denotes the capacity and incentivization to increase that structure, finally seeking to increase the amount of IIE improving information and reduce that which isn’t

Well written. I read a couple of pages. In my personal and fallible opinion, I believe that you're just defining a simple concept that lacks depth. But simply to play the contrarian, I will say that this mechanism can also be seen as evolution. To use the autocorrect example: although the individual would not be able to type without autocorrect, they also could have learned to produce correct text faster, and in that sense, isn't it simply an evolution of human capability? If a baseball player breaks their arm and is given a temporary cybernetic appendage to play baseball with, although they might forget how to throw without it, they may also learn how to throw better or with less effort. To use AI as an example, if a student cheats on every homework assignment with AI, they still have to read it over (for quality and to pretend it's their work); in that case, didn't the AI simply explain the work to them? This rebuttal is simply a thought I had. Other than that, I just don't think this dilemma matters too much, as society naturally corrects the floor.
