The Rich and Their Robots Are About to Make Half the World's Jobs Disappear

[Mr. Somebody]

i think that there are only two solutions, and in a way youve already highlighted one:

1. populations will have to decrease down eg pre industrial revolution numbers

2. drive the cost of living to zero so these populations can realistically be supported

the first can be implemented with child planning and would be a lot easier to accomplish in already low population areas. the replacement rate for each mother/father is two children and if that figure doesnt become exceeded populations will decrease through natural attrition ie the people who only have 1 child or people who have no children at all will gradually bring the overall population down over time. this is a pretty straightforward solution. we wouldnt need to kill a whole bunch of people. we could simply just wait it out and let it happen.

as for the second it would have to take lots of planning. for one thing how do you provide cheap (or free?) housing on a large scale? how do you do the same with food, electricity, transportation, etc. is this even realistic?

as our society being designed the way it is we have barely even begun to ask thesse kinds of questions though they might be the most important questions we have to ask going foward

I think the questions have already been asked and answered at a high level which is why many of these overpopulation initiatives exist, which is why Bill Gates says, vaccinations in africa help population control, which is why abortion clinics are so popular, and why chinas population policies are seen as a good idea. I believe already, there is a combination of conventional and unconventional methods to reduce population through the means you described, but also through death ranging from disease to mayhem.

Its so demonic, friend.

I went to Chiles and you can now pay with a kiosk machine thats At the table. I asked the waitresss, so we can pay here? and she says

*yea they're trying to get rid of us* I was like

Once they figure out how to deliver food to tables without people, Game over.

Sadly friends, this also means they plan on killing a great deal of the population because what are all of these jobless friends going to do.

Prostitution will be legal

@Atlrocafella what are dudes going to pay for p*ssy with? Rice grains?

The Roomba has already taken over one of many human household chores, vacuuming. There's going to be a battle between Hispanic maids and Roombas. That will be the first robot vs. people war. Then, when Skynet is set up, it's going to be Max Max/Beyond Thunderdome status.

Soylent green was furniture -- and child sex slaves. Or apartheid-era South Africa (the minority of the rich in gated communities with armed personnel, everyone else on the outside fending for themselves Thunderdome style, and getting shot at Israelis-killing-off-Palestinians style).

Sugar babies (male and female) will inherit what's left of the earth, until they're dumped for the newer model.

We already have young men in third world situations pretending to be women, just so they and their families can eat another day. If a couple rice grains will feed someone's family, then whoever holds the rice grains gets the p*ssy (girl, boy, infant or otherwise).

Put another way: it should be disturbing that young women in an alleged First World country are prostituting themselves on instagram. There's a difference between doing it because you're just that much of a free spirit, and doing it to pay bills (like that young black girl offering herself on facebook, offering sex if someone pays a $50 cell phone bill).

Touche, brother.

I don't see that happening.

Am I the only one looking forward to this?

Care to elaborate?
