marx talked about it. with sufficient automation, the value of Labor collapses. under socialism, this is a good thing. under capitalism it's a bad thing.
What about under a technocracy? Sounds horrible
What's a technocracy?
Itβs essentially a governance model driven by scientific, technical, and data-driven analysis. This would include control and input from Universities and Silicon Valley. The problem are the corporations that own a huge portion of SV are not benevolent in their practices on an employment level, a consumer level and certainly a powerful over ruling governmental level.
money would either become worthless, or would have to stop representing labor. you would have two distinct classes with zero mobility between them. im taking a shit
