That’s why we have a government, to adapt society to an ever changing world. You can postulate as to _if_ government will step in an enact the requisite policies (UBI, Retraining, ect) but it doesn’t take a big imagination to see a world post-automation. There’s even a whole TV series set in such a world: Star Trek.
- NegativeLatency 6y agoSure would be cool if we could skip the whole dystopian bit, and the WWIII part, and the genetically engineered people rebellion.
- ci5er 6y agoThe nature of government is reactive, not pro-active. Except when they are stepping forward to propose a solution that won't work for a problem that doesn't exist for virtue/positioning points. Star Trek is a great fantasy, but we are a long ways away from that. (Culturally, politically, legally, technologically and economically)
- brnt 6y ago> The nature of government is reactive, not pro-active. What a nonsensical thing to say. There are so many counterexamples, where to even begin? Don't confuse your current administration or administrative culture for 'government' worldwide, throughout history.
