However, the &...Yes, this is one possible scenario. However, the "elite" will need humans to serve them as analysts, designers, engineers and so on. The "elite" do not know how to repair or build actual real life things. Will the servants be obedient and willing in this scenario? Perhaps, perhaps not. A clever idea is selling the servants the idea of belonging to the "privileged" class. Big salary and gadgets do not make a servant-slave free, but it may buy some co-operation. Even a lot of co-operation.<br /><br />And what will the "elite" do when they hypothetically control all the resources? Fool around with other "elite" like the aristocrats of old and avoid poor people who want to kick their teeth in? Many of them do not want to been seen as masters and tyrants.<br /><br />One problem is that the middle class is taking the remaining "free" resources, which may create a lower class who are effectively useless slaves as they don't own anything. That would be dangerous for the elite if the lower class then tries to seize and grab their resources. Taking the middle class out of this equation will only make the situation worse. I don't know what they are going to do about this, but this is the current situation. <br /><br />The upper-class-servants must be controlled by making them want to consume and own things. Someone with a big salary could easily drop out of the system completely, which would mean there's no one doing the work which can't be automated. The downshifting and early retirement by living frugally is evil because the servant can give the finger after ten years of service. Luckily for the elite, many people have no idea how to live a meaningful life without "achieving" some monetary results.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8755205870185877532.post-25743809131961329502017-02-20T16:29:07.401+02:002017-02-20T16:29:07.401+02:00Interesting in terms of the demise of the nation-s...Interesting in terms of the demise of the nation-state.

A good worker / slave should have an IQ of maybe 120, not 80. But the reverse seems to be occurring.

At most they may elminate large swaths per job classification, but even im skeptical. Instead, i think many jobs will be call centered through webcam, elminating 'dead time' on the job, and maybe 10-20 percent of jobs per classification?

I think the author is making the point that fiat money is irrelevant to the "elite" he mentions; they don't need to sell products to anybody to make money, they need just print dollars or euros (as many they want). People will and are exchanging real goods and services for these fake notes of fiat money. Once they've achieved full automation (according to the author) they will eventually use this fully automated production to ONLY fulfill their own needs, not to sell or give away the products to a redundant population of "unneeded" serfs (penniless serfs). (BTW, it's China that's leading the calls to fully automate their factories going forward. Why? Because of current and future labor shortfalls as their population ages and not enough young people will exist to support their elderly - all because of China's Trojan horse one-child policy. They will be a case study in population crash and full automation thanks to their previous leaders mistake of being duped into implementing a one-child policy by that demonic duo Nixon and Kissinger as well as the other demonic duo, Carter & Brezinski)..<br /><br />According to the author, initially they'll use the goods produced by fully robotized factories to supply welfare goods to the masses, to placate them and render them further dependent, later as this generation of useless eaters dies off, and the population's numbers drops down to a non-threatening level, they'll drop any pretense of welfare and cut the "useless-eaters off".<br /><br />This what this author seems to be contending, however I don't agree with him: I heard the Chinese have a saying (whether this really is a Chinese proverb or not, I don't know). The saying goes something like this: No family is poor for more than 3 generations and no family is rich for more than 3 generations. - Meaning the every class undergoes generational decay, especially the rich. The grandchildren of the rich/elite are spoiled soft and incompetent copies of the grandparents that produced them: The 3rd generation will squander the gains of their parents and grandparents, due to their, apathy, incompetence, genetic failure, their cultivated emotional weakness (never learning life's hard lessons), and conditioned sloth-hood.<br /><br />While the author makes excellent points in this article, I'm not sure the "elite" he alludes to have the smarts or stability to pull off the kind of scenario he outlines. I certainly believe that there are some in the bloated so-called elite that are striving to achieve very the goals mentioned in this article. I just doubt their ability to pull it off.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8755205870185877532.post-78683105378252804062015-02-17T00:45:40.399+02:002015-02-17T00:45:40.399+02:00Doesn't make sense to me.

Snag being that those who would buy will not have the skills or labour to attract the wage to pay for those goods, so we are forced to change the way money is created or even the wealthy go bankrupt.Seeking the truth behind the claimshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03212796295788002602noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8755205870185877532.post-7613044181862356232014-10-22T14:38:23.749+03:002014-10-22T14:38:23.749+03:00There is a huge potential of consumers due to unpr...There is a huge potential of consumers due to unprecedented human population. Once wages will further rise in China-South East Asia, there will be plenty of consumers to buy more products. However, I'm afraid that this is also only a transition phase. It's not a matter of money, they can print as much as they want. It's a matter of power and control. Once the elites reach the point to control all the resources and the means of production, the model will change from capitalism to global feudalism.system failure due to insufficient evolution?https://www.blogger.com/profile/06502935674214763698noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8755205870185877532.post-34797446720556230382014-10-22T10:13:04.286+03:002014-10-22T10:13:04.286+03:00"Hyper-automatization" could eliminate t..."Hyper-automatization" could eliminate the need for labour but it won't eliminate the need for customers.
