We are destroying the natural world, without respect or harmony with nature. Itsn't the automation the real problem, its our relations with others people or kin

We are destroying the natural world, without respect or harmony with nature. Itsn't the automation the real problem, its our relations with others people or kind of life.
- JoeAltmaier 10y agoPerveresely, with automation taking jobs that leaves people more time to spend in nature. So we'll be returning to harmony?
- eswat 10y agoDoubt it. We’ll just create other work opportunities for those being displaced by automation. Google "Economic Possibilities for Our Grandchildren" or http://www.newyorker.com/magazine/2014/05/26/no-time http://www.newyorker.com/magazine/2014/05/26/no-time
- JoeAltmaier 10y agoYeah weird. In the '50s we wrote stories about automation removing the yoke of labor from everybody, freeing us up to be our better selves. Now we panic that Capitalism is threatened and invent stupid ways to patch it up (make-work, mandatory service etc).
- jhoechtl 10y agoUnfortunately no, instead you will spend it with Nezflix, Amazon Prime, your game console, Alexa, ....
- gumby 10y agoAutomation can help our relation with the natural world. For example we use weed killers because labor is expensive (and the work is horrible: mindless and backbreaking). Robots could do all the weeding and spare the environment from the depredations of Roundup.
