1. I did thought exercises long ago based on a future with almost 100% automation - a UBI will be necessary - the problem is what do people do with their time that gives them long term life satisfaction? It’s a difficult question.
2. I don’t think we will ever see deflation again. Now that the government can just create money out of thin air and send it directly to the end user digitally bypassing bank, they can prime the pump of inflation any time they want.
3. I think your productivity gain predictions are really high in the near future. Perhaps in 50 years. There are still a lot of improvements to be made in the manual labor side of the equation, as well as the review for accuracy side of the equation.
4. The tools will allow the top 10% to really flourish, while those below will depend on the redistribution from the 10%.
So many fallacies. What pure garbage - the first major one being an attempt to suggest that 100% whole wheat bread doesn’t contain fiber naturally, but it is somehow artificially added back.
Also seems to be lacking a basic knowledge of ATP generation via glucose.
Many other points that get tiresome to address.
I just fall back on my my main response whenever someone starts getting all preachy about carbs to me - I just say, “look at me, look at you”, and that usually shuts them right up.
Your number one is often misquoted...Nothing good happens after midnight outside the home...I have had some very good things happen after midnight at home. :).
Even today you can find pockets in SoCal where if all you do is go through the day without financial concerns or focusing on the politics, it is one of the best places on earth!
Deep inside, you know its a fading illusion though. A haven only for those with a lot of money.
