Really think about this for a minute...

the problem isn't political, nor will it be solved with partisan platitudes. it's that most individuals are not intelligent or determined enough to cope with today's rapidly changing world.
 


It use to bother me but I'm beginning to find it hilarious how these guys who are smart enough to see where technology is heading, can miss the mark by so far off on what society will actually be like in the future.

Does government protect free speech anymore? Is government a realistic threat today to free speech? Or has technology guaranteed free speech to anyone who can possess, harness, and recreate that technology?

How long will government have the ability to suppress your ability to arm yourself? That ship may very well have already sailed very recently.

How many people work from home today? How many worked from home 10 years ago? 20 years ago? How many people have actually enjoyed automatic streams of income, a concept that previously only existed in late night infomercial scams? Is that number growing or shrinking?

There are already companies making serious plans to mine asteroids in the near future. Imagine what that will do commodity prices, and prices of products that use those resources.

People are even automating home gardens with arduino boards.

Considering just those points. Is it really hard to think that technology could be far off from rendering government irrelevant? Or significantly reducing the work week from 40 hours to only a few, if not zero hours per week?

If robots are going to fully take over humans jobs, who'd building the robots? More robots? Then who's building those robots? See where I'm going with this......good, because I had no damn clue. as you were!
 
Seems straightforward enough ... humans build an initial batch of bad ass robots and they take it from there. They can build as many more robots as might be necessary, after all they'll be more intelligent and more productive than 98% of the people on this planet.
 
I don't know, I just hope whoever is designing them doesn't forget to give them that one good weakness where they can be easily destroyed when they turn on us.
 
As someone who worked in the auto industry I saw first hand the effect that robotics had on productivity. Yes they will eliminate jobs, but if you take the time to become the guy that programs and fixes the robots you'll never worry about work again. Most of our better tech guys made an easy 6 figs and most of their time was spent sitting around doing fuck all.

Or if you're really smart build your own shit and license it out. I'm not that guy though. I'm not even the guy that can fix them. Come to think of it, I don't think I would hire me for much of anything so I'll probably be fucked.

Robots will program and fix the robots, not humans. That's the whole point!

In the past, technological advances sometimes eliminated jobs but almost always led to the creation of new industries and new jobs to offset and even surpass the losses.

In the future, when robots can do pretty much anything, this will not be the case.

When that becomes the case, economic output will be so stratospherically high that it won't really matter.

i too see a launch in the near future. or rather, a jettison.
 
Why don't you consider mass elimination of humans as a result of disease, warfare or something else?
 
then there will be the Mexican equivalent of robots and other robots will complain about them taking their ...err..jobs
