You might not need a pension if you have a robot that is highly productive towards you. Everything might be so cheap. All the externalities that one needs to pay for a lot today, might be vastly available tomorrow. I think it is hard to predict the future.
- dharma1 7y agoThis is an interesting thought experiment. I think it's conceivable the cost of many things one needs would fall as a result of automation - but there are many things which have limited supply and that there would still be competition for, many of them consumable - so you would still need a source of income for these.
