Welcome to the automated future. As a world we are going to have to adjust to the changes brought about by automation. We need to start talking about how society will be structured with 50% unemployment.
- biggio 10y agoSolution: most of the revenue generated by robots should go to welfare benefits
- kristofferR 10y agoHow do you do that when countries have to compete by offering attractive tax-rates and terms for businesses and business owners/investors?
- BatFastard 10y agoI like the idea, but it gets tricky, what if the robots are in a different country?

- flatM 10y agoThis reminds me a scene of the wonderful AniMatrix clips. Here is what I recalled (may not be exactly accurate): Escaped robots established their own country in remote area and started to export products for natural resources. Since robots never need a salary and can keep producing goods 24/7, human beings cannot compete and all countries ran into deficits and their societies collapsed. In the end, all countries blockaded the Robot country and the war started, then the rest is history.
- imtringued 10y agoI think the solution is quite simple. Everyone should own some robots. Either through financial assets or they posses them directly.
