The solution to "people are killing themselves because they have no purpose outside their jobs and their job just got automated" is not outlawing technology, it is helping people find purpose outside of work.
- Tostino 4y agoThat's essentially the same thing that GP said. I know I'd rather safety nets be improved for this future rather than outlawing, but don't see it happening until some major suffering and upheaval happen. Likely, they have a similar outlook.
- fastball 4y agoI don't think "I'd outlaw technology if I could" is the same as saying "technology is good actually, let's find ways to make people happy in ways where automation doesn't matter". Thinking that the latter will be difficult does not justify the former position at all.
