But wasn't the idea that technology increased our productivity so that with few people we could do the work of many?
The amount of wealth an individual can generate and the amount of productivity one can activate on the world has ballooned unimaginably over the past 100 years yet we are still expected to produce 2.4 children to support us in the future.
Something doesn't add up and it feels clearer and clearer that the issue is wealth inequality. Regular people are being asked to breed like cattle to support the lifestyles of the ultra rich. We have enough to cover pensions but it's all being horded.
In 2024 this might have seemed acceptable but with the collapse of credibility in the Western world the clock has begun ticking.
