    Hey now, the bright automated future is Closer than We Think!

    I like this one, where they completely overlook any potential downside.


    Also, they totally miss that we could have 40 years of productivity improvements that capital decides to keep 100% and share 0% with labor.

  14. And the worst part is that you can't even grow bananas in most of the U.S.
    Naturally our terraforming project will eventually resolve that problem.
