- lovich 10mo agoWell, we’re in a future where everyone still has to work to live, but the robots are taking the jobs instead
- paulryanrogers 10mo agoI imagine this future could come true, if we're willing to accept that there would be many fewer people.
- denkmoon 10mo agoWhy is the utopia predicated on less people?

- unglaublich 10mo agoJust distribute the fruits of the automated labor. The robots and automations are like the trees and bushes from our gatherer's past. People would just take what they needed. No one would say: you are not allowed to take a berry from this bush because it's mine!!!
- paulryanrogers 10mo agoThis would require some pretty huge cultural changes. People's modern sense of fairness, duty, and competition feed into stratification and instinctual tribalism.
- joegibbs 10mo agoWe could just make more robots instead. If the robots are building robots then there's no barrier there.
- agumonkey 10mo agothe issues is that work, salary was also an indirect way to structure society. want more, think more / work more (or be more cunning). now what we can't use that parameter.. how do we decide
