I kind of call it the "Star Trek" future; stewardship of the earth will be in the hands of a small population of highly educated technicians who clock in only to ensure the machines stay running, the vast majority of their time will be spent in leisure and scholarly pursuit.
This leaves billions who do not possess the skillsets that this new world demands. They have nothing to offer except crime, violence, dysfunction, dependence, and offspring who need to be fed and clothed. They will come to be viewed as a nuisance.
A just machine to make big decisions
Programmed by fellows with compassion and vision
We’ll be clean when their work is done
We’ll be eternally free yes and eternally young
What a beautiful world this will be
What a glorious time to be free
