Robotics and Population Decline
Posted by VetteGuy 3 days ago to Technology
I've noticed a lot of "news" reporting on these two topics lately. Am I the only one who sees that these two phenomena could be complimentary? Population declines, but at the same time, we need fewer workers because robots are doing more jobs. I have not seen any reports that link these two issues. Could they offset each other? What would that look like? Is Asimov's Solaria [From The Naked Sun] the future of humanity?
US was a much more pleasant place when the population was less than 200 million.
Had an interesting discussion with a health care provider a couple months back: How different life would be if everyone asked "What would Andy Griffith Do?" I know life was not perfect in those days, but it seems there was not the animosity that runs rampant now.
It's one of the reasons I like driving on the small-town sections of Route 66. People are helpful, friendly and polite.
Devaluing the US debt based currency has kept women from having children due to not having enough to support a family. The lower the value of money the more crime and killing too. That plus all the other manipulations are reducing the population. Hopefully not a long term trend.
Half the population are already robots in a way. lol Imagine if the same programming and propaganda is instituted in actual robots. For now AI is their brain. Better hope Grok and other companies creating AI make Asimov required reading about the three laws of Robotics and its implications.
Look up the "Shoe Event Horizon" economic theory that Douglas Adams described in "The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy".
When we arrived on Earth around 500,000 years ago, we joined our fellows Homo Erectus, Neanderthals, Nelardi, Denisovan, Heidlbergis, and more. The longest survived species, Erectus, lasted maybe 1.1 million years.
They are all now extinct save for us. Maybe we are on an evolutionary path to extinction.
Except for the arguable issue of our population eventually being overrun by the 3rd world over-populated
shit-hole invaders, reducing the US population is not a problem, its an improvement.
(No, don't kill anyone, just make the 135,000,000 invaders and their progeny leave.)
This assumes that the robots doing the work have to pay double or triple (or whatever is necessary) to
support those over 55 (who paid in all their working lives and) who were promised that social security
would provide enough to live above poverty in retirement after 66 years old.
For everyone under 55, pay their 'contributions' into a "Trump retirement account" and hire the best
available to invest it for them to provide for their "golden years."
COVID vaccines – population control, multiple sources but the quite part out loud was spoken by Bill Gates.
Fentanyl – Family decline – you can’t have health children if your high all of the time
Schools – indoctrination – I personally have lost two of my four daughters to the redrick being drilled into their heads. They think our society deserves to die, they don’t want children in this world.
Dollar collapse – seems to be accelerating, impossible to have families
I could go on but why?
I think the people in the know, know and they think we don’t see it. All of the craziness are intentional decisions, not accidents.
