The problem is that the whole underpinnings of free market capitalism rests on the ability of human A to provide value to human B such that human B will voluntarily give part of himself in exchange.

When all of our physical needs (shelter, food, medicine, travel, recreation, protection, etc...) are being provided by AI and automation, the value that other humans can provide to you shrinks to zero.

Money has historically been used as a measure of one’s value to others. This will have to change in the future and we will have to find a new system of distributing resources. I am honestly terrified of every possibility that my inferior mind can come up with.

I’m sort of with you, but as a Christian I am not terrified. Rather, I see this as proof that either the Lord’s return is imminent, or the complete and violent collapse of western civilization is imminent. In either case, life is a mist. I see it all as The Matrix in a way.

RELAX! There is no chance of this ever occurring!

North Korea will EMP us first.
