| In response "what will we do when robots take over our jobs" I wrote to Tomasz: "I receive a monthly check. I live far below my means, living in two rooms with shared bath, preferring second-hand everything or doing without. But... I'll be in Costa Rica on Wednesday while my friends curse as they scrape ice off their windshield so they can go to WalMart. It's all about choices. I "garden", write, read, travel and take photos. And I invest in human relationships. ♥" That said, it IS a seriously question. Humans have changed the human landscape and will continue to do so in unpredictable ways. It is neither linear nor ever-advancing. Much of our social fabric will be rethought, rewoven or lost. Same with our technology. It's why I believe in old-knowledge as well as new, simple things like how to grow a tomato plant as well as how to grow them on the Moon. We adjust. Or not. One of the greatest gifts that humanity must protect and cherish is our flexibility. It's why I'm not fond of dogma and conformity. Neither is "evil" but both have the limitations of non-flexibility and exhibit a certain lack of imagination. To go back to Tomasz' question: we will cope with robots... or we will not. Our flexibility and imagination may determine how well we survive as humans continue to evolve. 96.011 |
