The future of continued capitalism scares the heck out of me, because it's the future of more and more people living on subsistence level, slaving away all their lives for increasingly smaller group of wealthy people, until the whole thing either collapses or the economic machine optimizes all humanity away for more profit and the Earth will be left with no people.

Well, the good news is that this won't be possible since they will soon be made useless by automation. You can't enslave someone who has no use for you.

Well, if even quality sex services get automated away in the end, then I guess we'll have no other choice than to say "so long and thanks to all the fish", followed by starving and dying.
Unfortunately people usually riot instead. Hopefully they will get their ass kicked.
