Anyone read about this? I've been losing so much sleep over it.

This shit isn't happening in the far off future is happening right now

There will still be jobs:The ones who repair those machines.

 

That means millions even billions of people will be out of work if that's the only way things can work. I am so terrified right now. I've been researching this shit since last night with no sleep. No one has a solution or vision about this where the vast majority won't starve to death while the wealthy have better lives.
This is the beginning of the great reduction that conspiracy theorist have been talking about. If the elite can have their needs met by robots what need is their for humans? Billions will perish as there is no way to care for ourselves. Fear will run unchecked and the death squads will form.
We are fucked beyond imagining.

 

Did you actually read the article. NO JOB IS SAFE. Automation is going to replace EVERYTHING.

 

Robot porn doesn't sound good at all

 

The difference is when jobs were replaced before therr was another industry to go to now there will be no other industry. Im seriously considering the military at this poi t.

 

MEPS is a dangerous animal and very selective

military doctors will give you a hard way to go for any issue you have before letting you join

if you got mental issues or chronic illness, kiss that goodbye

 

I think at some point economies will have to introduce some sort of socialism (or at least protectionism) to keep us all fed.

Pure capitalism is unsustainable. Never has been.

Early capitalism = slavery, colonialism, rape of the environment, etc.
Late capitalism = globalism and "offshoring", technology making humans redundant or putting us in competition with third world workers

Capitalism is a great engine, but it's not the whole car.

 

You think the elite cares? The minute they can replace human labor with machines all together they will. They will trade the world's resources amongst themselves while we struggle to live in shantee towns and thats if we're lucky. I can easily see them using drone attqcks to whipe out the undesirables on trumped up bullshit to protect limited resources. Should have seen this coming. They made the markets fail transfering decades of wealth in mere months and not a single person went to jail for it and now they want to take guns away from the people so they no way of defending themselves.
I really hope this is my pesimissm run a muck but it doesnt look that way. Then announced they are going to replace 1000000 factory workers in China with robots. This is the litmus test. What happens after that will pave the way for immediate or less short term destruction.

 

huh? I don't advocate socialism as a doctrine, but i know the state is going to have to have a hand in supporting the people once technology and globalism makes workers redundant.

Capitalism will have to be tempered with planning, regulation, and protectionism to an even greater extent than it is now.

Are you saying that you advocate pure capitalism (ie. "the free market always has the best solution")?

I think you're just being doctrinaire, because pure capitalism is more of a problem than a solution. Anyone looking can see that.

Capitalism is just an economic engine. It's not the "north star". It should work for us, not us for it.

Like Obama says, a thriving middle class should be our guiding principle. Pure capitalism inevitably leads to a ruling class at the top and a huge underclass of people mired at the bottom, with barely a sliver of middle class in between.

Unfettered capitalism inevitably leads to jungle capitalism, and you can keep that to yourself.

 

If you guys haven't seen this check it out. TheDarkKnight you will have an aneurysm from this. Lol.

Exactly. He and others like him dont understand that once your labor has no value then you have no value. Youre just an eater someone diminishing the resources of the owners. We cant be so limited in our thinking.

 

I dont get how you can be so glib about it

 

Well the machine apocalypse would be beyond our control so why not have high spirits about it? No point worrying too much about it.If you are ****ed you are ****ed.

 

Just last month, Coast to Coast AM had two authors as guests who wrote a book on this very thing (this is their expertise). It was compelling and chilling ...I will see if I can find the interview or at least their names.

And TDK, get some sleep hun..:smt056

 

I got a couple of hours butitreally makes you question the future. The illusion of safety is gone all that remains is when are the drones gonna come. Smh

 

I looked for the 2 authors being interviewed but for the life of me it's not coming up in C2C/AM's search...

Anyway not to keep you even more awake, but this part of the article...

...reminded me of this v v that I read in the press recently...

1) healthcare industry
2) finance and accounting
3) stem jobs

:smt023 Bingo! I just had this conversation with someone today...there's only so much you can automate in healthcare.

 

Check out the book "The End of Work" by Jeremy Rifkin. Read the review on Amazon. He predicted these kind of technological changes way back in the 1980's when his book came out. He particularly emphasized in this book how technological change affected blacks. It created a scare even back then when we were suppose to have been in the best of times. He predicted that the microcomputer which was just beginning to gain speed in our economy was going to be the center of the great changes to come.
We have not seen nothing yet. Drones, robots, brilliant machines, etc....
