where did i say it will not happen? i just said it is a bad idea.
sure it WILL happen - because this process is not a social process it is an economic process.
and it will make some people richer and MANY people poorer.
ok letīs do for a moment as this would be the one and only problem and letīs see how we can make automatism to work for prosperity.
i can imagine that someone BUYS a robot and send him to work instead he is going.
so the work is done by your OWN robot.
so far so good - but here we have now a few problems:
1. not everybody can buy a robot
2. there are people who can buy 2 or 3 or 4 or more robots.....
and suddenly we have no workers at all in the game - only COMPANIES because even the worker with an own robot is now a company what have to compete with his neighbor.
as the people who do not have robots do not have money to buy things, there are only the "companies" left to play the part of the consumer. but as this "robot companies" have too many robots (more than needed) they have to drop the price.
with dropping prices the wins are dropping - with dropping wins, people consume less - with less consumption less production........and so on
you can think as much as you want - if you are thinking in a box (local market) there will not be a winner.
you can not reap if you do not sow and you can not sow if you do not reap.
the one and only aspect in all is prosperity - not money. because money is just paper what is an equivalent to your productivity.
that means - that higher productivity leads to higher prosperity - but if you want this higher productivity you need circumstances what optimize every part of the production.
this can NEVER happen in a local market.
just forget about the wages - just take another example:
letīs say the escimos want to eat pinaples and they do not want to import them. it would cost them soooo much that it would never make sense.
in that case it is much better for them to import the pinapples from where they can grow cheap and sell in exchange ice cubes into that country.
what you have to realize is that work and pineapples are the same thing. work is a product and the pineapples are a product.
if you want to optimize that on a maximum you need the global options and you need to give if you want to take and you have to find out your role in that game.
unfortunately USA was only focused on one role: to produce the best weapons - thats why USA is a war company - and THAT is what you need to change.
you guys where able to fly to the moon - you should try to use your strong sites smarter as only with wars and creating hate.
