RE: Steemit, A Gateway to the New World

The part I don't fully understand yet is why the government isn't starting to prepare us for this massive job loss. What is your opinion on this? If they don't have a plan in place one very likely outcome is social unrest and collapse of the financial markets.

Sort:  

Because there won't be any job loss. More jobs will be created as it happens always with any technological advancement.

The belief that mass-automation will create unemployment is unfounded. The steam engine did not take horse guys out of business. it create an exponentially new industry (engines) that employed even more people in a variety of industries.

I really hope you're right. I value your logic, that's one reason I'm drawn to your posts.

Thank you man. It means a lot.

My pleasure @kyriacos, you're one of my favorite authors on Steemit. I don't always share the same views with you but you have great intellect and cut through the bullshit like a razor blade. Have you ever considered self-publishing a book?

you are way too kind. yes I have but it appears a bit douchy to me. I also don't want to depress people. I get that a lot from people around me. my thoughts make people miserable.

Understood. Online is the future for writing anyway. As you said in a comment people can consume online content in manageable chunks, as time and their interest allows. Posting my novel in installments here last summer convinced me of of this.
