@gvwilson not exactly. It's another industrial revolution. Do we really want people doing mundane, repetitive work that machines can do? Isn't there any better kind of work we can offer them?
@codinghorror the answer to both your questions is "no".
@womble hard disagree on the second part. There is in fact an entire universe of interesting problems to research and art, writing, and music to create. Or maybe raise some sane children, because you have time to.

@codinghorror @womble
I remember someone, somewhere asking, then answering the question of who so many really scientific discoveries were done by priests.
They a) had little actual work to do, this lots of free time, b) generally very literate, c) had housing and food support from the community and/or The Church itself.

So... Free time, Education and... UBI lead to ... Scientific Advances.

Who knew the church was so Woke & Socialist‽ 😜

@RyeNCode @womble 💯 truth. This IS what will happen. It will be the greatest unlocking of human potential since the first industrial revolution. I'll bet my life on this.

@codinghorror @RyeNCode @womble

Then I look forward to your death!

I offer my services as executioner.

@TonyVladusich @RyeNCode @womble come on over! You'd be doing me a favor, really 🤗

@codinghorror @RyeNCode @womble

I will settle for you donating your fortune to a charity.

And cease grifting the poor morons who believe anything you say.
