You’re the one who said “starve to death” in your original comment! Maybe that’s a hint as to what the fear is: mass unemployment without universal basic income.

This is one of the most bizarrely bad-faith comments I’ve ever seen.




Fair enough, but I meant why have anxiety about it? The anxiety will do nothing to solve it.

I don't imagine a more efficient world will some how create starvation? It's just not worth worrying about it because if that's how it's going to go, that's how it's going to go.

I personally think the destruction of the personal compute age will be on of the greatest things that's ever happened to us.

Ever dread having to sit at a computer desk pecking away at a keyboard on a beautiful sunny day? Well maybe that going away is what will happen, and it will be glory. I'd honestly prefer to be tending to my tomato plants and hiking in the forrest and drinking tea on a mountain peak.
