This Is How We'll Survive After Robots Have Taken Our Jobs

"Automation thus shrinks employment income while growing investment income. That means that strategies for radically broadening ownership will play an extremely important role in mitigating the threat of wide-scale declines in income from technological unemployment. That’s why extending cooperatives into the technology sector is so critical and where platform co-ops can play a vital role."

Well, "platform co-ops" are one idea. Another is "universal basic income". How thoughtful of so many intellectuals and visionaries to plan ahead this way on our behalf! (sarcasm)

Elon Musk says Robots will Push Us to a Universal Basic Income—Here’s How It Would Work

"Burger flippers, truck drivers, and cashiers are going to be out of work in the coming decades, thanks to the accelerating pace of robotics and automation technology, some experts warn.

And as large swaths of the population lose their jobs, the only viable solution might be for the government to institute a universal basic income, which would mean paying every resident a fixed amount of money to cover their needs."

I remember Rush Limbaugh stating that currently there is low need for buggy whips ( since the auto was
invented) So what happened to all the buggy whip makers. They found other jobs. And likewise,
burger flippers will find other work, possibly with new technology coming.

No. it will be population control, euthanasia/eugenics in disguise.

legalized abortion (murder in disguise) was the first step euthanasia (legalized suicide in many states), eugenics to follow.
here in WA State euthanasia is called "death with dignity" (self-murder in disguise). In Oregon "assisted suicide".
If the recipient of the fatal dose is incapacitated or incoherent the family and/or doctor can decide.

Obamacare with "death with dignity" (genocide of the elderly "nonproductive eaters") was going to be the intro of euthanasia/eugenics.

If the "progressives" take over again in 2020 get ready for a resurgence and something called postpartum abortion (although Gorsuch will block it, so it will comedown as an executive decision).

Postpartum abortion? Meaning infanticide? Do you have a link or a book?

Postpartum abortion? Meaning infanticide? Do you have a link or a book?

There are several, here is one.

1. The moral significance of fetal development is arbitrary.

2. Prior to personhood, human life has no moral claims on us.

3. Any burden on the woman outweighs the value of the child.

4. The value of life depends on choice.

5. Discovery of a serious defect is grounds for termination.


'There is nothing magical about passing through the birth canal that transforms it from a fetus into a person.'

FACT CHECK: The Truth About Obama’s Abortion Record

 

[I Love An Atheist]

The article about postpartum abortion is very disturbing to me as the mother of a son with ASD. In Europe, at least one country is exploring making it legal to terminate a fetus if there is some way to detect that the child may develop autism.

I could see this progressing in my child's lifetime to arguing that it is not cost effective for an adult with autism to be supported by society; therefore euthanasia is okay.

My son is becoming higher functioning over time, and he is a natural born STEM kid with something to contribute economically when he is older. In fact, he likes robots!

But that's not really the point.

Take an affliction like schizophrenia.

It strikes from teens to about 30 years old and can completely disable a person.

Cause one to be institutionalized for life.

OR ??

 

[I Love An Atheist]

The implications are horrendous.

The insurance companies practice euthanasia. When people need very expensive treatment or have already spent too much money on trying to stay alive the insurance companies just cut them off. That happened to two of my friends. Medicaid picks up these people but Medicaid will cut people off as well. If the GOP succeeds in cutting Medicaid these people as well as the elderly in nursing homes who have outspent their savings will simply die.

Yes there is guilt on both sides that is why i am an independent.
In my state of WA (and OR to the south) Assisted Suicide (AS) is legal and although it is flatly denied rumor has it that terminal elderly are given counseling for AS.

I was also a software engineer/architect contractor for several insurance companies before my retirement. i know of the green god to whom many of them bow down.

When elderly people die in a nursing home or hospital, it almost always shows up in the statistics as a heart condition -- I have heard from somebody who is a medical editor. Whatever the real reason was for death, it is just chalked up to the heart, and then the statistics are not really audited. This is what I was told by somebody who works closely to the medical literature.

 

[Bible Thumpin n Gun Totin]

I program computers. "Smart" [AI that can learn] AI is bad. When somebody codes something there is a 100% chance it is not perfect. When a program crashes/abends/breaks usually you can restart the program and it only affected money/data/etc.

When a mobile AI breaks, it could run someone over, mistake someone for a shipping package and try to move them. Very bad.

Say a robot is programmed to care for the health of a patient. Visitor gives patient a knife to cut up an apple to eat. Robot logic sees knife as threat towards patient and removes visitor. Can't program common sense.

The only AI I like is the kind programmed with just enough intelligence to do basic tasks. I.E shipping packages, burger flipping, etc. I will never trust a program to drive my car, or handle security though.

When a company I worked for replaced manual skilled labor with robots, the Lord gave me a knack for fixing them when they broke down. I always lived according to the Sermon on the Mount. Where He tells us to seek first his kingdom and righteousness, and he will take care of us in the same ways unbelievers devote their lives training for. To make a long story short, after a few years of taking care of their computerized robots, I began work for another company who charged $90 and hour for my services. Matthew 6:24-34

Autopsy is mandatory in NJ so I don’t see heart failure as the primary....not as long as cancers are out there
