Not if they can help it.

Sure, but it's a good question that should be taken seriously, because it matters. It matters when people don't actually care. It's hard for normal people with hearts and souls to imagine. That's why we invented devils and demon possession in the past.

To say they don't give a shit, is to answer your question. It's called sociopathy. It's a plague among the Epstein class and those who would want to be a part of it.

You think they give a shit? They buy the bullshit that this is endangering their children. That there's social contagion and theirs could be next, and it also means their kid might be going to hell etc.

Unfortunately, changing hearts and minds is complicated. But it's the only way we get to a world of empathy toward those of us who are different.

Sure, but did those jobs go to those who lost theirs? And as others have pointed out, not always and forever. Just logically speaking a lot of automation at best will "free" people to pursue other things, and so could boost creativity and innovation... But people need freedom and financial security for that to be possible.

In short, I'm shilling for UBI, guaranteed minimum income and other socialist programmed to spread the value gain from technology back into the community.

Has the argument been awful, or just the outcome?

I mean, when have those who lost their jobs due to technological obsolescence actually been looked after directly, rather than left to fend for themselves?

That's exactly right. He made a mistake about the strategy. It happens. I still think the US is better for his having been in his role.

I'd rather the one under her crotch.

There's just no good reason. Might as well legislate that girls wear pink and boys wear blue. Equally as baseless and invasive of free expression.
