Regarding your first point, I don't have an answer. But, for a more ironic take on the issue, please read 'Player Piano' by Vonnegut. Regarding your second point, I addressed this in the other post, but post-scarcity economics seems to be the best 'thought experiment' as to what a future society would look like. I truly believe that we are entering an age where human labor will become obsolete. It may take a while but, its going to happen.

> I truly believe that we are entering an age where human labor will become obsolete. It may take a while but, its going to happen. I think you're correct. For me, what's difficult is to understand what happens to us at that point...and I guess what happens to us on the way to that point. I can't tell if it will be good or bad (or a mixed-bag) for us/humans.
