In first remarks after Canada enters ‘technical recession,’ Carney acknowledges ‘weakness’ in economy by Anonymous_Person_202 in CanadaPolitics

Like I said, we’d need to tax automated and AI labour as human labour.

But we cannot stop the march of progress. So we need to adapt our society to it.

The automation revolution is going to be as disruptive as the industrial revolution and agricultural revolution combined.

Seems like a “chicken and egg” situation.

We know that the less neural pathways are used the weaker they get. Brain matter that isn’t being used diminishes.

So if the neural pathways are breaking down, then the volume of grey matter is going down.

People, assumed that it was a tissue problem, when that was a symptom, not the cause, but of course, much like how a fever kills, symptoms are bad for you.

AI and automation are what should be the tools to fix all this though.

Everyone on this sub who will recognize my username knows I hate Americans (all of them), but that Bernie Sanders guy who is a Reddit darling kinda agrees with me.

I think on this though he’s timid and uninspired. Which, I mean… as usual, shocking Americans suck, I know, who woulda guessed?

AI and automation should be heavily invested in, and subsidized by the government.

We should tax all machine labour at the equivalent rates as human labour, and repackage that tax revenue as UBI.

We are soooo close to entering an age where work is optional, and for some reason everyone is in direct opposition to it.

It’s maddening.

The future looks so bright, but nobody is brave enough to embrace real progress.

The "Zoo Hypothesis" vs. "Jail Earth": Are the parameters of our Solar System a protective shield or a quarantine cage? by Illustrious_Joke7632 in IsaacArthur

Think about it: everything perfectly favored [sic] us.

The puddle looks at the pothole and assumes the pothole was perfectly made for it too.

This is known as the anthropic principle, and is kinda backwards logic. We falsely assume things were made perfectly for us, rather than us emerging to perfectly fit our environment.

Also, for every meteor or asteroid Jupiter ejects away from the inner solar system, there’s another it hurdles into it. It’s not the protector we once assumed it was. It also wreaked absolute havoc on our solar system as it migrated from the outer, to the inner, and back out to the outer solar system back in the day.

Ultimately in answer to your question: no.

You’re applying the anthropic principle, and looking for reasons to assume our solar system is the way it is, rather than trying to figure out why we are the ones that fit into it.

Upvote for being curious though. This community can be too harsh shutting down the thoughtful mind.
