Fascinating scene from Karnan (1964). We give too much importance to proximate causes and forget remote, deeper and underlying causes.

“If computer can do everything better than you - compose a poem, diagnose better than any doctor - then one asks what is man, what are you?” J Krishnamurti asks a very important question that is super relevant in the context of #GPT 4. This is from 1981.
