Only two things are infinite, the universe and human stupidity, and I'm not sure about the former.

Very good

You are very right in putting it up for modern humans, how we have completely become so dependent in our lives. Our ancestors be it anyone have had lives their lives differently, actually they have devoted it for a certain cause. But we live completely at different spectrum. We dont even want to know about things , how they happened , we just want to use things for our own comfort. We wont worry about the future generations , we are just worried for ourselves. Its really encouraging to see this post and do our bit to this world. We cnt completely change it, but we can make an effort, we can enrich our environment with better things

humans who had always been smarter than humans now, without human beings who would never exist.

It was always my goal to know a bit about a lot of things. Lately, I've found more focus, and it's based on things that I don't understand. I don't understand automation, so I'm taking steps towards understanding it. 

I like your equivalence to the blockchain. Decentralization is being employed in many ways from the obvious value transfer (crypto currency), to leadership roles in combat, to knowledge sharing. It has increased efficiency at every level. 

This post earned you a follower.

I am ashamed! I've never read instructions from gadgets. Or does the apple not have instructions? :(

That's right.
 It is a pity that we can not use what today's reality gives us. 
Someone once used a nice comparison. "Being connected to the Internet, we have the whole world within reach and we instead write the whole day on Facebook what we ate for breakfast.
It's like having a time travel device and using it to go shopping. "

Absolutely true. Having an deep interest/passion in a narrow subject list has made me appreciate the knowledge I acquired from learning and understanding about such topics.

Also, your Coinbase example reminded me about the reason my uncle was not interested in cryptocurrencies. He said he does not want to go through the hassle of backing up passwords/keys/seeds.

Exact description of minimal responsibility.

That is how mother nature works at all levels. Because I've visited Micropia in Amsterdam yesterday the handier analogy is with life at cellular level - at some point life was unicellular - a bit like humans trying extreme individualism. Then  multicellular forms of life appeared like the Volvox - where cell specialisation was minimal . With increased specialisation the whole became more and more performant while looking at individual cells they appeared more and more "stupid" or "autistic". If you ask one of your gut cells to "fire a synapse" or send a nervous sigbal it would be utterly unable to do so but 
1. It has the same DNA as your neurons
2. It is happily "using" and benefitting from  the nervous signals by its neuronic brethren.

As onthogeny repeats phylogeny the fractal nature is at work in the human society as well. 
We are gradually evolving into the "specialised cells" of the most powerful social supra organism yet allowed by a short-lived "blip" in the overall march toward ever-greater entropy . 

A social supra organism whose cells (  us individuals) would not know how things actually work but will be able to use them in order to "do their part " and produce something deemed useful by somebody  else.

Just like your gut cells do now. They are not more "stupid" than your neurons - they have simply got a different role in a play that is far bigger than any of them.

It'll be interesting to see how AI evolves ...

Just a few thoughts:

This also shows in the devices we use. There are many more consumers than creators, and increasingly many people use tablets and wide-screen displays. Tablets are mainly consuming devices as they lack a proper keyboard and other input devices, and wide-screen displays may be great for consuming content, but they suck for engineering and photography.

I also noticed that many young people think I am decidedly un-hip for not using many gadgets and apps, and when I tell them I have actually co-engineered quite a few of them, they don't change their mind, on the contrary, I'm even more of a nerd for knowing how things work.

Many so-called intellectuals, especially in the art-and-literature scene, actually pride themselves on not understanding math and physics at all, as if it is somehow ennobling when you don't understand how much of your surroundings work.

All this never ceases to amaze me. Humans are weird.

Brilliant analogy in the title alone..."Clutter".

Clutter and the collection thereof, dulls our senses and possibility with it's weight... even if just in our brains.

Fully agree. The development on Earth is more and more going towards substantiating one's comfort zone. Humans' cloistering away from Nature due to the unwillingness to look within to instigate change. 

Within ourselves we are the projector and our external is the movie screen. So the actual way is to see how WE can adapt to our environment in a positive way, but instead people attempt to manipulate and adapt the environment for egoic purposes. 
 Are you freezing? Well, then manipulate the weather instead of putting over some piece of clothing, all leading to ever more motionlessness in our life, less inspiration, less mindfulness and natural curiosity for delving deeper.

Thanks for your insights! :)

“Much like the technological toys we only end up knowing how to use people superficially without bothering in understanding them.”

@kyriacos it seems we are on a similar mental wave length. Would love for you to read this article as I think it supplements your thinking quite nicely.

This deeply resonates with me as I feel the opposite of most people who want large circles. I don't want large circles because it is overwhelming. I like to fully and deeply enjoy small things but other people don't and it's very frustrating to me.
