when robots do all the work which is for profit and humans can't compete
when a robot costs 5 cents an hour to do work for profit and the same job done by a human would cost 200 bucks an hour
human labour will be unsalable.
see the old jobs that now do not exist ------- gone, replaced by technology
eventually - and not far into the future - almost all jobs for profit will be done by machines ---------- there will practically be no paid human labour
it might come in 50 years - it's hard to comprehend that it won't come by 100 years and it might come in something like 20 years - timing is up for grabs
but, it will come.
And when it does - if we are to have a consumerism based economy - then, humans will have to be given what we call money - in able to be consumers.
If we do not have a consumer based economy - well, I don't know what it will be ----------- aside from bloody interesting.
A man with a shovel was paid about 20 bucks an hour. Now a bulldozer does the work of 100 men - with one man sitting in the seat driving it - costing about ? 40 bucks an hour.
Yes, there are a lot of men behind the bulldozer - building it, maintaining it, repairing it, financing it -
but, they are being replaced by machines rapidly - robots in factories, AI replacing financiers, etc etc
we are moving to a machine world - that is crystal. One day - it will be almost literally - all machines.
For us to be out doing art, surfing, fishing and drinking wine -
we need money to buy the paint, buy the surfboard, buy the wine
if we cannot work to earn that money ---------- from where will it come?
if it doesn't come - then, there are no customers, no customers means - no business
no business means - no wealth
