Everything that you wrote reads to me as "human savior".
The issue is capitalism. If we doubled productivity that should double quality of life. The fact that they convinced us it doesn't is the issue.
- bufferoverflow 2y agoOur quality of life more than doubled compared to ~50 years ago. We have powerful computers with amazing screens, constantly connected to a global network that allows you to talk to pretty much anyone on the planet, with video. That allows you to search for all kinds of information near-instantly that previously could take weeks or months of digging through libraries or newspaper archives. Computers that translate in near real time. We have medicine that solved so many diseases, and is so far ahead of what we had before. We have robots that do all kinds of boring and annoying and dangerous tasks. I have two robots cleaning and mopping my floors at home. We have whole factories that are mostly run by robot labor. We have freaking GPS! Capitalism is not the issue. It's infinitely better than any other system, which most of the time steals labor, forces labor. I grew up in USSR, I know.
