Gary Economics wants to have a word with you.

It would be fun to get to post-work society, but hard to imagine atm. TPTB won't let it happen

But how this transition will even happen?

Soon we will have some machines that can replace 50% of jobs, and this will happen basically overnight...

The steam engine replaced a lot of jobs. Tractors replaced a lot of jobs. Calculators replaced a lot of jobs. Computer used to be a job description before it was a personal device. There will be new jobs.

Come on, Gary is compulsive liar with zero credibility and really shitty takes. He’s entertaining though.

Gary is not a voice worth listening to. A narcissist, fraud and has terrible epistemics.
