''Murray, when the time comes in the future that AI and robots take over all jobs then society will be very different to now''

yes it will --------------- so, you have changed your position in one post from this eh? ''Systems are already in place to fund people who cannot find paid employment''

so, your 'simple really' ------------ isn't so simple at all ---------- it's now 'very different in future'

well gosh ----------- we agree

now, here's something which you appear to be failing to grasp -------------- that future is not far away -

it is indeed, knocking at the door right now


right now - we have lots of paid work ---------- but, AI is encroaching already - so too are robotics

within a decade - things look like being vastly different ----------- 10 years.

By the time we get out to 20 years -------------------- well - things will probably be so different that we can't even imagine


now --------- 20 years. 20 years is NOTHING. If we need a totally new economic system ----

when do you suggest we begin?

or do you think that we can all just sit down and design a totally different economic system to suit a change of conditions - that is greater than all of the changes of ages since the first hominoid made the second stone axe and became a trader?

now again ------------ 20 years. If you want some kind of idea what it takes to make big things happen - have a look at how long it took to get the EU going ------ and that ------------ was just one continent.

again - a mere 20 years -------------- tell us how this is going to be 'simple'
