RE: Job Automation Is Happening
You are viewing a single comment's thread:
Politicians are not loved by the people, very often rightly so. However, this problem with those who will have nowhere to work is very difficult to solve. Does anyone have a global and applicable solution? Was it proposed to politicians, with all the guarantees that it will work and it is not just a utopia and was it rejected?
In most SF movies, the future is presented in two ways. One presenting an advanced, super-technological society where, of course, only robots do all the work and the other way around, a dark society that lost all its benefits and returned to the Middle Ages.
I think both options are possible.

That is true about politicians.
As for what was proposed, there are a ton of them out there. Are you trying to tell me that politicians dont have access to the people to find out about different solutions? Hell have you ever seen them even hold a series of hearing about it or bringing it up as a problem?

Maybe you're right, but politicians are there because people voted for them. Why vote for them if they are not satisfied and if their demands are not satisfied?
What I mean, in fact ... This political system of governing society has been implemented for hundreds of years, is consolidated and cannot be replaced suddenly. Except for some cataclysms or world wars, but I don't think it would be any better after these events.
The transition to a different society, I think, is slow and long-lasting, much slower than technological and social progress. The proof is that although the masses could change politicians by voting, they are not doing so now.
Those who are manifesting now, who are visible and growing in number, thanks to social networks, are still heterogeneous and without a clear ideology (just claiming total freedom is not enough and can never happen). These people are easily influenced by charismatic leaders who have never been well-intentioned in history.
I apologize because in my comments I bring arguments against maybe your vision for a decentralized future, I don't do it for the pleasure of denying, I do it because that's how I think things are going and because no one seems to have other ideas. , arguments. When everyone agrees on one thing, they come to believe that it is the ultimate truth and may later have unpleasant surprises.

Because most often you are voting for the same person regardless of which one you select. They are the same. There are promises made but in the end, they both operate the same way.
One promotes smaller government yet under every administration, government grows. So those who were touting it ended up lying.
As for the centralization, that is the push. However, the lesson of the EU should resonate with everyone. It is an abysmal failure. Power was consolidated in Brussels and now the Eurozone is falling further behind on the world stage. The economy is the worst in the West and the ECB is in worse shape than the US Fed.
It is hard to deny how the idea of your centralized future is following a path to failure.
As for the speed, you can opt to want to take things slow yet technology simply is not going to allow it. The pace of automation is only speeding up. So you either deal with it or stick the proverbial end in the sane. That is what is being done now.

Unfortunately, you are absolutely right about that. I had the same outbursts after each election cycle.
You know better about the EU economy, now it remains for the UK, after it came out, to demonstrate the advantage of being outside the European common market.
The EU, this communion of different states and with such a diverse economic development, has had a great achievement. It prevented the outbreak of any war, after we had two world wars in the last century.
