2) Fewer people will need to work to do the "important stuff" ...
3) This will cause a change in ideology. Until now, we've had a
dominant
notion that we need people to work. ...
When we humans developed tools to help with housework, our
standards for cleanliness rose. As automation takes over more
tasks, human attention will turn to all the things we currently
neglect in order to take care of our basic needs. Lather, rinse,
repeat.
Does anyone have over/under odds on the expected level of inter-
ideological violence this century, compared with, say, 1914-1989?
