I was literally mid conversation with an online acquaintance Sunday about just this. I wish I’d had this video then, though I sent it to him anyway to explain that what he’s been told is wrong. The funny part is that this doesn’t even account for fully automated manufacturing that is beginning to expand in some key industries in China (see Xiaomi “dark factory”) which will reduce the need for human labor. Imagine getting so automated that in order for your entire country to have a good life, all able bodied people needed to work like one short shift a week. You could spend the remaining hours interacting, incenting new stuff, learning stuff, making art, or just resting and enjoying life.
Is that the financial crimes version of an adultier adult?
