    our individual existence doesn’t need to depend on our contributions to society (*based on availability, time of year, race, luck-of-birthplace, shareholder whims)

    Good job, Einstein! What are you going to do with that earth-shattering realization? Go up to Jeff Bezos and tell him he’s being mean?

    We can’t solve this shit in a day. I definitely don’t think it’ll happen in my lifetime and I’m not entirely convinced it can happen at all. Why are you going around saying “Why don’t we just automate all jobs” like it’s that easy?

      I’m not, I’m saying jobs will be automated as we can automate them, we have pocket calculators instead of people calculators which were as impossible to comprehend to ancient Egyptians as the general pace of progress seems to be to you. How are you so bad at extrapolating that concept? If you want the world to be fixed and perfect build a time machine. If you want the world to be better, wait a decade. If you want your life to be better, wait a day.
