Jobs are not a necessity. People work because of they need money, country need people to work because they can tax and use the remaining to buy weapons. We don't need jobs, we just need hobbies. I am very optimistic about robots. It will be the time when there will be no slaves in this world, everyone will be truly free.
- abyssin 5y agoThere’s one crucial issue with this view: robots need energy to work. And consuming energy destroys the planet and will continue to do so for quite a while, because clean energy solutions aren’t ready and we need to drastically reduce our carbon emissions (among other things) right now. Time is running out and we can no longer afford the dream of a post-work society.
- powerapple 5y agoWhat about nuclear energy? Say we move robotic productions to areas we don't want to live, with nuclear plants, and keep renewable energy just for humans in cities. Or the idea from Bezos which I liked: move robots to a different plant, ship everything to Earth.

- questiondev 5y agothe energy crisis is not really a crisis with energy but a crisis with policy, there is a lot of energy floating around us that we do not harvest, the ocean is filled with energy that can be harvested safely without harming ecosystems. we really have a lack of resourcefulness problem, outdated systems in place that stop progress and keep us all asking why can’t we fix this?
