Even though chess isn't the toughest thing that computers will tackle for centuries, it stood as a handy symbol for human intelligence. No matter what human-like feat computers perform in the future, the Deep Blue match demands an indelible dot on all timelines of AI progress.
Trump knows he's facing some pretty strong criminal liability when he leaves office, one way or another. Even if a sitting president can't be indicted, he's got to know his future looks like it's behind bars unless he cuts some sort of deal with the prosecutors.
A coldly rationalist individualist can deny that he has any obligation to make sacrifices for the future.
Future shock is the shattering stress and disorientation that we induce in individuals by subjecting them to too much change in too short a time.
