our society evolved from a tribal system based on scarcity,backward beliefs, and limited knowledge. While it still somehow works it will not survive a head-on collision with abundance, education, increased longevity and automation. These co

I'm not sure it would require a complete rework of society, but of course large part of it would need to be redesigned. It would be not easy but it would definitely have a large impact, that's why I think it's worth it. And o

I used to be a hard core libertarian, but not anymore. It will simply not work in an era of full scale automation and AI.

What we need is to begin working really hard on creating a new society. A society where every human life is priceless, where there is no space for "race" or "sex" on the application because it's not needed.Where the

These profits you talk about are not from automation but from product or service. You could tax companies specializing in automation, but how do you define who to tax? If software an automation based product? Taxation won't work, for m

No, not every company. Only companies in the country that taxes automation. Other, smarter, countries would skip that tax and end up with cheaper products. This whole "tax robots" idea would only end with higher prices for produc

Revenue is not profit. Just because company brings a lot of revenue does not mean they can afford to hire people. This would essentially make it pointless to own a company.

What if that industry is automated because the jobs are dangerous? What if it's automated because having robots do the job allows for more precision, which in turn can save lives (ie medical devices)?

How are you going to "fix" that amount? Does every hosting company must pay X amount of $? Or is it based on annual sales? If the latter, It should be fairly easy to open a new company after you reach your sales target.

Before Bill agrees to pay back taxes on all of copies of Windows, MS Office and other robots that his company created, I don't think he has a right to advocate taxing robots. He became the richest man alive simply because he created co

Obviously currently swifts are not worth anything so you will not be able to hire me using this "currency",but I dont see why this currency with few changes could not have a real value.
