I’d prefer that my family are financially stable over “human progress”. One benefits me and the other benefits tech companies. Easy choice.

If our ancestors had thought like that we'd all be very busy and "stable" doing subsistence farming like we were doing 10,000 years ago.

Better our children never have to work because the robots do everything and they inherited some ownership of the robots.

Do you really believe that all technological progress has bettered humanity? Where’s the four day work week we were promised? I thought automation was supposed to free us from labor.

		I don't think all progress has benefitted humanity but I do think we've never worked less while earning more than the present.
