It is a hand wave. What's driving the infinite demand if humans don't have wages to buy things with?

  It's the core point. It's not capable of being a hand wave, it's the specific thing I'm concerned about. Again, I'm aware I might simply be wrong, but "wrong" and "hand wave" are different things. > What's driving the infinite demand if humans don't have wages to buy things with? 1) I didn't say infinite demand 2) I did say "out-bid the average human on both sides of the equation". "Average" human. Humans are not identical, but rather are a distribution. The ones who are more economically viable can continue to compete while the rest starve. This is also what we saw in the Irish potato famine, though "economically viable" had a different meaning.
