williamthebastard rank	Tue May 12 18:41:11 We have entered an era where the following will likely continue to increase indefinitely: * Increased climate problems, leading to: * Increased migration flows, leading to: * Increase in far right tribalism and retreating behind shuttered windows and bars, leading to * conflict, violence and division within nations. * Increase in unemployment due mainly to increase in automated production, leading to * Increase in poverty, conflict, deterioration in quality of life, decrease in lifespan and health. Oh, much more, but all of the above seems to be happening or about to happen simultaneously.
Im better then you rank	Tue May 12 18:55:57 President Platner will solve everything!
Sam Adams rank	Tue May 12 19:21:47 So you solve this by 1) banning most migration 2) some sort of control where robot manufacturers don't get all the income. Duh.

jergul rank	Tue May 12 20:01:03 On topic. All those things are policies of choice. We could as easily chose to all live doing artisan projects for each other as mass production necessities are automated to free everyone to live the lives they find meaningful. #peakmaslov

Rugian rank	Tue May 12 21:46:10 "We could as easily chose to all live doing artisan projects for each other as mass production necessities are automated to free everyone to live the lives they find meaningful." We ran that experiment in 2020. Turns out that when you give people an abundance of free time, most of them spend it binge-watching reality shows and other trash TV.
Sam Adams rank	Tue May 12 21:55:53 "Income redistribution sammy? How communist." Future robot communism is possible. But then we need rules limiting robot IQ.
Average Ameriacn rank	Tue May 12 21:58:49 We must give the robots the personalities of Trump, Reagan and Jesus, then all will be good.
