A revolutionary idea that first came to light in the 1960's, by the end of the last century we would all be working 2 days a week, what happened?
I was taught at primary school that I would only work 2-3 days when I grew up, robots, clean nuclear power. Not to mention asbestos, that wonderful safe fireproof building material.
OK, I only work 2 days a week for past 5 years, 4 days a week before that for 12 years. Trending in teh right direction. Sadly, I don't earn much.
It's coming, just check out the population explosion of AIs. It's the 'when' some 60s social scientists got wrong. hahaha [reflectivemanagement.com]
Going to be a lot of redundant biological units soon, what will be done with them? recycle them?
@Surfpirate Nature has a way of either culling our populations, enabling us to become different than we were, or most probably both. It's the readjustment processes which are always painful; or have been in the past. We've gone through such adjustments historically twice before at least, but never with such numbers. So it will be interesting, and the creative ones will survive and thrive. As they usually do.
