What are we going to do if automation raises the unemployment rate to double digits for decades? I think we need to be preparing to go to a basic minimum income and start accepting that not every able-bodied person without significant mental difficulty is going to be able to be employed. I think that paradigm is starting to become obsolete. I'm not saying it's desirable, or inevitable, but it's likely enough that there's no excuse for it catching us unready.
I'm not anti-Christian. I'm anti-stupid.
