Either way, it's pretty clear that neither socialism nor captialism are going to work - and once it becomes a truly global system, people will be calling for a truly global authority and then everyone had better obey or else.


I fear that's where we're heading. Vast amounts of our personal data is already being held all over the world and as larger companies swallow up smaller ones, that information falls into the hands of fewer, far more powerful organisations.

Re: Where are we all going to work?

I'm far more worried about my kids and any grandchildren than myself. They're the ones who're going to see the world transformed and for the worse IMHO.

Mmmm, it says Athletes and Sports competitors have a 28% risk of automation and should start worrying ! How's that going to work, robots playing footy ? The bookies would love it, very predictable ! Mind you, looking at the boring Premiership, the robots might already have taken over.

A lot of benefit decisions are already done via computer programmes, this is one of the reasons why benefit appeals have shot up.

In an attempt to deal with this plans are afoot to make all appeals paper based. Paper based appeals are usually less successful for appellants.

Re: Where are we all going to work?

Some countries are to try out a universal citizens income paid unconditionally to every adult to deal with this.

The trouble with social engineering is that there will always be mavericks that not only try but do buck the system.

Re: Where are we all going to work?

Problem with UBI is that it financially disincentivises human existence in the eyes of those that would be paying.

Re: Where are we all going to work?

If we can't really afford our state pensions bill going forward with very high employment levels in the UK how on Earth are we going to be able to afford a meaningful universal wage when there's likely to be far fewer people actually earning a decent salary on which to pay tax?

Automation should make a lot of things much cheaper and also generated wealth from automation is subsequently spread out. We would have to structure it differently from how we do now.
