    Not only that, but with the increasingly credible threat of automation looming, I don’t think we should be looking to traditional economic wisdom for advice about labor shortages.

      Automation considered a threat is sad. What fucked up world we live in.

        It has to be deprivatised if it’s going to be a positive for humanity, otherwise it’s just another upward wealth transfer.

            Our modern rich think that with enough technology they can insulate themselves from our power entirely. The way I see it we either prove them wrong, or die.
