    I can see capitalism finally getting abolished in the next 2 decades because of automation, either that or we will end up in a dystopian future where corporations are allowed to own all profits from autonomous production/services.

      I wish I could share your optimism, I just see it getting worse before it gets better. Like, bloody revolution worse.

      As of now, the majority of people still see billionaires as hard working geniuses who deserve the immeasurable wealth they have. There’s strong movements online that challenge these ways of thinking, but from all the people I know IRL, my wife is the only one who doesn’t call me crazy for thinking that level of wealth is only accessible through exploitation of “normal” people’s productivity.

        Oh, yeah, I didn’t meant to say that it will be an easy transition. People will need to loudly mass protest for things for sure before capitalists will finally lose their position.

          I almost hope some of the major existential threats like global warming will push humanity in the direction of harmony and teamwork. I probably won’t live to see the day, but I’m a huge fan of sci-fi and love thinking about asperations of humanity finally throwing off the shackles of tribalism and becoming truly amazing.

            People only react to sudden developments. If it’s slow and takes years/decades to develop then people don’t notice it and get used to it. The best chance we have for getting people to wake up is sudden ai explosion into everything because they will have to pay attention to what’s happening at this point.
