Obviously my argument is false since some minuscule portion of the general public qualifies as a speed reader. Additionally by your own argument a speed reader would still have to read any message linearly, one sentence after another. Unless you with to narrow the definition of an instant message down to only one sentence.
Be careful how narrowly you define something... you still have to read an "instant message" from left to right, up to down... therefore it is linear as well.
I'm confused about why you think that said company will willingly reduce the price of said stove to match the prior margins. If the model was selling well and you suddenly move from making $400 profit to $1800 profit. Did it stop selling well? While I'm sure there would be some drop in price to remain competitive and to sell more product it is hard to imagine how the company would sell the move you suggest to its board and investors. The free market doesn't work this way, at least not as fast as you assume.
There is a difference between "paid enough" and "paid adequately for the work you actually do." While 50k is a good salary most (the good) teachers put in way more than 50k worth of work.
Except that it has taken humanity millions and millions of years to get us to this point. Humanity has built robots/AI to the point they are in only 50 years, give or take a few decades. The point of intersection is fast approaching and unless we start modifying ourselves we will be left in the dust.
