Is this possible in democracies with free (i.e. state-provided) education? Why would a majority vote to abolish education?
- nice_byte 4y agoi didn't say it would get abolished, more like wither away. here's a possible path to it: 1) school program getting progressively dumbed down; 2) fewer and fewer people choosing to continue education after school. continuing education is mostly necessary to become specialized and perform knowledge work, it would be a waste of time to do so with emergence of a.i. agents capable of performing these functions even at a level _comparable_ to humans (let alone exceeding). repeat this for a few decades and you have a new dark age.
