300 years ago, humans couldn't even imagine the way the planet (economy, rules etc) would work in 2015. Except the (potentially) sweeping changes due to automation & other technologies aren't expected to happen in 300 years -- more like 5-20 years. Do you see a difference here? This revolution is coming, it's part of evolution, stop fighting it, embrace it and learn how to live in new reality, Do you really think your own livelihood -- and that of people close to you -- is that immune from the potential negative consequences of the "revolution"? because you can't stop it. Not entirely. But we can moderate and regulate it if we wish (and we pay close attention). That's the key issue, here -- not simply "either fight it or embrace it."

Except the (potentially) sweeping changes due... No, it wont be 5-20 years. What i am talking about can't be achieved in 20 years, what you will achieve is part of evolution, not revolution. Do you really think your own livelihood -- and that of people close to you -- is that immune from the potential negative consequences of the "revolution"? Don't worry about me, i will survive natural selection. Not entirely. But we can moderate and regulate it if we wish (and we pay close attention). That's the key issue, here -- not simply "either fight it or embrace it." Good luck with that, seriously, you will regulate it for sure as hundreds of other things that needed to be regulated in USA and didn't because of lobbying. How do you want to regulate it ? Did you regulate wall street? How about punishing anyone after 2008? How about HFT? Did you prevented deregulation that caused world crisis? No, you didn't and you know why. What about gun control? how about hundreds others, where big players are involved? So did you do all those things that felt even more right to do than what we are talking about ? No, so please wake up and stop pretending you have any choice. USA know that technology is the core future of economy, no one will stop it, you know why? Because USA is not the only player in the world, and if USA still want to be in top, it just can't be stopped, because others won't. It's just couple examples from thousand why you can't do anything about what's coming. Big corporations will just benefit too much from it and you will see this argument "we need AI/robots, costs are too high, or we can't compete with the rest of the world". Sorry, but you already lost this war, you just don't know it yet...
