Living in a high income country, where $200 is well within monthly fluctuation, this situation makes me wonder if a little more telepresence might lead to us bifurcating into a world where the Eloi will know a tiny amount about how all of it works, and the Morlocks will know all about how a tiny amount of it works?
- bryanrasmussen 2y agoisn't this how it already works?
- gradschoolfail 2y agoDesigners* will know all about how it is all supposed to work *personally prefer the term “designists”, but YMMV on that one

- 082349872349872 2y agoIt does seem to be already moving in that direction, yet there are still some discrepancies: (a) living in a highly developed country (and having grown up in one almost as developed), according to this theory I ought to be going full Eloi and mechanical Turk'ing out (AI as "actually, indians"?) all the schlep work in my life to telepresent Morlocks, yet the little of my washing which I do send out goes (to the best of my knowledge) mostly to the historically-developed world. (b) also to the best of my knowledge, current proto-Morlocks very rarely (or even never) eat current proto-Eloi.
