>>6017938It is, thank you. I haven't been active here since my thoughts have been spread over many different friend groups, activities, and media. But I have been lurking in every thread just reading along mostly.
I think what you are mentioning is correct. But I think a lot of it more so has to do with the fact that fleet life doesn't have much use for humans. we don't accommodate the necessary purpose humans need in growth done by their own hands. We need in some capacity people to have meaningful work that isn't necessarily mental labor only. Since that will break people. (Office work being a prime example)
Another problem is that humans need chaos (not the warp kind) in their everyday lives. To have something that isn't changed immediately to one's liking and provides stimulation by its mere existence. One of my unironically best examples of something that could help this problem is the nature preserves on giant covenant ships. Which they would use as hunting grounds and general enjoyment centers.
... I have a separate idea on how to make humans relevant in a machine world where AI can do anything and everything a person can. But it relates to mind melding a person using nanites to essentially ship of Theseus oneself into a mechanical intelligence over a prolonged period to not destroy the person and replace him/her, but instead change it slowly enough that there is no cut-off point. Thus bridging the gap between man and machine. By making men into machines.
