Yeah, let’s replace every kind of human work (planning, counselling, engineering, research, plain everything), and let us make them all unemployed. And let only the owners of the tech make money.
Well if this new tech served all makind by sharing the profit, it would be like utopia. But these greedy oligarchs won’t share a single bit of the wealth that’s generated by tech. And we‘ll have tech oligarchs, as the former greek finance minister have written in his book.
- DarkCrusader2 2y agoI believe you are referring to Technofeudalism: What Killed Capitalism by Yanis Varoufakis. Recently read it and found it to be quiet insightful. Explanation of how the the current trend is more Feudalism instead of super charged capitalism was very well done. But i don't think the solutions proposed will work out in practice.
