Retirement of Reason
Eureka?
Artificial intelligence can retire the left side of our brain. Reason. Science. Logic.
This reason, science, and logic that diminish the space of feelings, sensations, emotions.
To create artificial intelligence, humans everywhere boil their reason. Their logic. Their left side of the brain. Then they comment something like "I regret not having spent so much time with my daughters when they were little".
Very young children are pure right brain: emotion... Feeling.
Specifically missing children "when they were little" may mean "missing being moved. Missing feeling".
Because we will have all the time in the world to feel and be moved.
Won't we?
The first thing artificial intelligence can retire is the human need to rationalize, list, calculate, use the left side of the brain.
We are still at the height of the left side of the brain: money overflows in reason, technology companies, with super-scholars from STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics) colleges often being founding partners flooded with dollars.
What does such a hyper-rational society feel?
And its inverse: what does a society feel with the right side of the brain returning to dominance?
The death that some researchers fear may be the death of reason, and not the death of the world as in the movie "The Terminator".
Most current artificial intelligence researchers focus on reason and logic. When you are all reason, the death of reason is as if it were the death of the person.
But it is possible to migrate a life full of reason and logic to a life full of feeling and emotion.
Only for those who are all rational does the death of reason appear to be the death of the whole person.
We will feel and be moved again, collectively.
Large constructions will attract other types of profiles, no longer STEM - I opine.
Because artificial intelligence will take care of reason, logic, lists, rankings, alone.
Finally, there will be space for feelings and emotion.
What will it be like? In large buildings - like today - or will emotion prefer to happen in small local businesses? Large straight, glass buildings, or ornate ones? Or locally - and in what way?
The profile changing, society changes.

This text is a bit difficult due to my failure as a writer. But here is the concept I am seeing, and I already apologize not only for the dry text, without pleasant stories and, even worse, possibly being with a totally wrong thesis. The originality - wrong or not - I think I'm delivering, even if in a poorly written way. If I can, I'll improve this text as soon as I have this ability and time.
