You just defined weath as USEFULNESS. Entropy isn't just about heat, it's about USEFUL ENERGY vs WASTE ENERGY. Matter is just an amazingly useful form of energy. And notice, I said UNIVERSE, not planet- local eddies happen.
" I heard a guy who have a very big and old farm here in Denmark say that in the 1800s they had more than a 150 people working on the land. Today they have 3. "
Looks to me like 147 jobs got taken by automation. By what math do you get "robots will take no jobs" from that?
American population is at record levels too, which might account for how you can have total employment at record levels with only a 47.5% labor utilization rate.
I give your average truck driver 5 years to move to the third world or go north to work on the ice roads. Everything in the lower 48 can be done driverless with GPS.
Arts- has very much hit the critical limit. There is already more art in the world than any one person can possibly experience Personal assistants, massages, style consulting- maybe the last one. Personal assistants have already.moved into the palm of your hand- cell phones, tablets and the like. Massages, I've seen (and tried) robotic hydropressure massage tables. Style consulting? That really could be algorithmic as well, a simple historical database could feed an expert system as fashion seems to be cyclic.
New industries are a possibility, but why would a new industry not just go with robotic labor from the start?
Wasn't that experiment the basis for the TV show Survivor? And the answer was- a million dollars was worth causing all your friends to leave and hate you.
What is replaceable with tech I'm aware of in the next 2 years: Fast food jobs, retail jobs, drop-ship jobs, call center jobs, delivery jobs, construction jobs, factory manufacturing jobs.
Using common technology from 13,000 years ago? Not so much across, as around- the current would take you North to Japan, then east across the Bering Sea, then down the coast of North America to get you to Mexico.
In other words, the current is flowing very much the wrong way for the journey you describe.
Depends where. In the Pacific Northwest, warfare had descended to the point of being celebrated with sports (Shiny Ball, a game played on a huge field, and it was a more violent game than rugby) and Potlatch (where chiefs would compete to see who was the most generous while everybody had a good feast, only to starve the next winter if your chief was TOO generous- the only form of warfare I know where the declared winners could suffer more than the losers).
But you're right- Peaceful is not a word I'd use to describe the T'linket/Chinookan/Salish trade alliance. Uneasy bedfellows who needed each other to survive is more like it.
Also, given the clockwise nature of North Pacific currents, and the fact that drift rafts were well within the technology available to stone age man 13,000 years ago, is it not more probable that Indonesian people came from Mexicans who came from Eskimos who came from Siberia?
Considering the Clintons only passed laws that increased chaos and decreased the right to life, I'd say I'd rather have somebody with NO history to that.

But that 4% uses over 40% of the world's resources, therefore each American is worth 40 of anybody else.

The rest can be done with RFID tags, scanners, and a good database.

By the law of entropy, then, the total wealth of the universe is constantly shrinking.

Uh, if you make $10 in a DAY, then compared to the rest of the world outside of the United States you are a 1%er
My guess is more like 74%. The people paying the invoice for the robot to be delivered will be the remaining 13% employed.
Exactly. My first thought upon reading this was that 74% of the workforce is deluding themselves.
I want to make it permanent. Here's how: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FFroMQlKiag
Which was also denied by Article I Sections 1 and 8 and the 14th Amendment.
Article 1 Section 1, idiot. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FFroMQlKiag Here's how to enact a law. Go and do it.
The part where he kept using Executive Orders to break Article 1 Section 1 of the US Constitution.
Article I Section 1.
Go to this video since apparently your generation failed to learn basic civics: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FFroMQlKiag
Correct https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FFroMQlKiag
Trouble is it all falls apart when you notice that the Bering Sea, even in summer, is too far north to be survivable on a raft....

The OPPOSITE journey, from Mexico to Indonesia, however, is quite short indeed.

Exactly the right answer, and the only answer we need.
