As long as we are going toward a world of abundance where money doesn't mean much and the main currency is time, I can't complain. I will subsidize that with my brain power turned into ink on paper.

It’s pretty clear that the premise won’t be becoming reality.

Well, once there is no more jobs, or once a large enough number of people are made redundant, it will mechanically happen. Future is all about research and entertainment. That is why tiktok stars and soccer players get so much money. All that being based on DARPA research, I mean the internet. People just want to have fun. Du pain et des jeux.

Ha. Are you new here?

[PunchyHamster]

well, we are not, so far it is just concentrating wealth and power in smaller and smaller subset of people

[aatd86]

Yes and then continue your reasoning... Is this sustainable? What do you think it leads to?

[puelocesar]

Major social chaos, economic meltdown and extreme crackdown on dissent by ultra facist government powered by palantir surveillance.

Abundance for whom, exactly? And if the answer is everybody: who in charge has an incentive to do this?

Sorry to ruin your day, but if the people with money could have introduce equal society, you would have noticed their attempts by now.

[aatd86]

Abundance for everyone or it is not abundance. With abundance, the field gets levelled because everything someone else can get, you can too. Society can't be equal when everyone is in survival of the fittest mode because resources (energy) are not infinite.
