Re: FSI,

 I guess it's how the Unemployment check evolves into a Universal Basic Income check. Or maybe it's just how that infamous 1% gets rid of their need for the rest of us, and so gets rid of us. I don't know, though, who they think will buy the stuff their robots make.

Re: CCT,

Well, one thing leads to another, and everything gets more complicated, and dealing with complexities, life gets ever more complicated. And we get fascinated by our own cleverness at solving problems--cleverness for its own sake leads us to make up problems to solve... and solutions introduce more problems, and there we go... 

I suppose every generation reaches that point of being and felling left behind as progress moves faster than we can, ourselves.

What I feel it boils down to is that machines are easier to work with than humans. A machine isn't going to want worker rights.

I do wonder what's going to happen when the supply of jobs diminishes.

There we have the dilemma we either stand still or move everything. I guess good and bad will always intermingle, the lucky ones will choose wisely.

Re: RPresta,

It might help for us to model it for them!

Let's hope the generation coming up now will realize what you have said.
