I was unaware of Freud’s observation about the three blows to “man’s narcissism” of the Copernican revolution, the Darwinian evolution, and his own documentation of human irrationality. Not sure AI will really amount to the “fourth Kränkungen” as Safranski suggests, although to be clear it seems he thinks it’s the illusory nature of its intelligence that is the problem. But the first three are a good bookmark for the 20th century. Usually Marx would be given the fourth slot? 🎁 https://www.bloomberg.com/opinion/articles/2026-10-22/it-s-ai-0-german-philosophers-1?accessToken=eyJhbGciOiJIUzI1NiIsInR5cCI6IkpXVCJ9.eyJzb3VyY2UiOiJTdWJzY3JpYmVyR2lmdGVkQXJ0aWNsZSIsImlhdCI6MTc5MjY3MDU5OSwiZXhwIjoxNzkzMjc1Mzk5LCJhcnRpY2xlSWQiOiJUTkFaU1ZLR1pBSVMwMCIsImJjb25uZWN0SWQiOiI4RDZBQjI3N0RGOEU0MjI1QkVEMUZBQUFDODY1QkJGQiJ9.uZIOTkKavG9NnI4h9349zljO6FCrZ3a5QTOS-6X0WUY
