Nice little essay. This quote, tied in
with Tom Walkers note about 15% of all necessary production less, advertising
etc. seems to make sense. In the 60's, those glorious days of old, we
actually looked down the track to the 90's and postulated ideas similar to yours
- what happened? Lyndon Johnson, Tricky Dick, Trudeau all experimented
with a GAI and the results weren't all that bad for an experiment and then it
died.
I might argue that a "compelling
reason" was not put forth that made those experiments into a broader
reality. Let's find the reason for change before we attempt to settle the
details of change.
