[Nowhere Man]

I’m reminded of the opening chapters of the Dune series that discusses such a possibility, the ensuing hostilities and the end result being the elimination of ALL digital technology.

I'm also reminded of the novel version of "Battlestar Galactica" where Caprica and the rest of the colonies had laws in place where most robotic labor was banned if a human can do it. However, I think that was also a reaction to the fact they were fighting the Cylons as well. I know this may not be a conservative/libertarian idea (although Milton Friedman favored it) was everyone gets a guaranteed living wage. My buddy and I discussed this one night and we were talking this could be the future, ala Star Trek. Everyone will got a basic living wage, basic housing, a basic car and so on and if you want more, like in Star Trek, you work for it. Switzerland is already talking about this. Perhaps this is not the solution we like but this may happen out of necessity if jobs go by the wayside along with more mechanization and automation.

In an ‘ideal’ world where the elites that run it didn’t HATE humanity with a passion.

The elites on this planet resent the air you and your family breathe. They will be the ones controlling this tech.

It won’t end well for you.
