Eripsa posted:One possible way that a cashless society developed is by just giving all the money to the robots and letting them deal with it. A world where the economy is entirely automated is a world where money is effectively invisible, and that's probably just as good as getting rid of it entirely. The article is just a palatable version of the ole "In the future, being white and male will be even more awesome".

Eripsa posted:It is worth noting that "unemployment" (as if people should be employed) is really just a sign of underproduction. We have the capacity to produce far, far more than we produce right now. There are hundreds of factories that have closed shop not because the goods they could produce aren't needed, but because there is no money in it. There are millions of workers who want a job, but cannot be sustained in the current economic situation. The problem of need and want we experience in the world is real, but is it not because we are running up against fundamental limits in our capacity to produce. It is because the current social organization does not seek to maximize efficiency or sustainability, but only seeks to maximize profits for the Robber Barons who "own" all of the stuff. Do we really need to produce at maximum capacity all the time? Is that your goal here? I 'm willing to give you the benefit of the doubt, but for god's sake, flesh it out!
