Our brain doesn’t work in two ways when we start reducing complexities through approximation, we start losing our abilities to deal with complexities in life and look for a simple solution to everything. Following are some of the real-life examples of reductionism.

Machines reduce human effort. We have taken this learning way too seriously. We think today(no, not think, thinking is hard, we live under the opinion) that we won’t have to think, feel, build emotions, gather experiences, suffer in life, battle in life, work hard in life, learn and become better every day in life, teaching others and making them better every day, becoming more fulfilled, becoming more satisfied, creating an intimate relationship are important, and each of these will be done by the machines.
Intimacy first got reduced into intercourse, and now intercourse is replaced by pleasure through porn and sex toys!
