A top priority of innovators and owners of production should be to automate as much human labor as possible (without compromising on quality) as quickly as possible. A top priority of politicians, economists, and voters should be to rewrite the economic and social order to be consistent with a supply-side that’s no longer dependent on human labor. The job of humanity: Make this a better planet to be born on by ensuring abundance of basics and getting more people higher up on the Maslow’s pyramid, with more freedom to do meaningful work instead of repetitive grunt work that can be automated. Do this without squashing the competitive spirit to win and innovate. Change a have and have-not world into a have and have-more world, and teach people how to be psychologically okay with this. Take a fucking scalpel to their brains if you have to. Stop ruining the planet with carbon emissions, end miserable labor and/or poverty, stop equating profit motive with innovation; that’s bullshit.
So cut people apart for driving gas vehicles, or what, the planet is going to melt?
Yeah, you’re part of the insanity… should have known better.
I wouldn’t expect much from government and society for the foreseeable future.
We’ll be lucky if we can hold onto the rights and freedoms we have, let alone multiply them.
Dystopia or collapse is far more imminent.
As for the environment, the biggest threat to it are the globalists, Malthusians, transhumanists, cloning, genetic engineering, nanotech, weather modification and mass immigration, not CO2, which’s a nutrient plants breath.
If anything we need more CO2, not less.
The thing about these social-justice-warriors…
They want other people to sacrifice “carbon emissions”, but they-themselves greedily consume resources.
Do they-themselves sacrifice? Do they-themselves stop having children? Do they-themselves commit suicide?
No, of course not, because they’re grifters and compulsive liars.
And if you shove their hypocrisy in their faces, how do they respond…??
They want to Lobotomize their resistance. It’s easy to predict now. It’s like the poster on ILP, ww3. They want to murder whomever opposes them.
This idea the economy can get on without human labor is absurd.
Robotics is still in its infancy and so much has to be done without the aid of machines.
Manufacturing requires some labor, construction, maintenance and repair requires labor.
A command/planned economy, where the globalists, banksters, megacorporations, bureaucrats, politicians and technocrats micromanage everything will lead to chaos and famine.
Economies require a high degree of liberty and spontaneous order to survive and prosper.
They can be macromanaged here and there, but not micro.
And those who do want a command/planned economy also want to exterminate 90% of us and enslave the remainder.
Where’s the data that proves beyond reasonable doubt that a machine consumes less “Carbon” than a human per unit of work???
Wow lot of straw men and nonsense above. Slowly backing away…
As you should retreat…
I’m still waiting to see that “Data” that proves that a machine (run on electricity/fuel/human maintenance) requires less “carbon output” per hour than a human worker at the same wage…
Environments will definitely run away; because their premises are built on lies and childish fantasies (about “Efficiency”).
I know I should retreat. I can tell you are very clever and I would do well to not try to match wits with one such as you. You’re right I don’t have data about if human labor carbon footprint versus a machines. I am really in over my head. I am sorry. I didn’t mean to connect ending obligatory wage slavery with fixing the environment, they are two separate issues, I just added environment in at the end to add to the list of thing I thought could stand to be improved. Again very sorry, I will cautiously leave now.
I’m not against Automized machine labor out-performing or out-classing human labor on average.
I simply believe that we’re still decades or centuries away from that happening. Or that when it happens, most humans will evolve and compete. That’s life.
Machines can already out-perform some humans, but perhaps not most or all.
And there simply is no data to back-up any hypothetical “carbon footprints” as-if carbon is a bad thing or pejorative term.
That’s not a desirable thing for those who are good at and happy with manual labor. They don’t want to change their lifestyle, they want to keep it as it is. Take that away from them and they are back to square one. Their skills and their contribution is devalued (robots are put in their place against their will) and they are forced to go back to school having to learn new skills in order to stay relevant. And who’s going to pay for that? Even if they are handed out free money, it’s not a good thing because you’re introducing uncertainty in their lives.
