RE: The Automation Nation - Biggest Threat To Human Life
Different style post, I like it.
These universities should be charged with fraud, honestly. The cost of an ‘education’ keeps going up and up every year but what they aren’t teaching people are useful skills. It can be an entire post about that topic in itself!
It’s all the financial system in shambles that’s causing this disaster. When it reaches a tipping point for them they will crash the economy, clear out millions of jobs then another bailout will happen and the cycle will start over again.
New construction will be one of the first industries to get more and more robots to do the tasks but the question remains: will they do an equally half ass job that others do now? Absolutely. There will be a constant need for the tradesmen to fix these half ass jobs. I’ve helped family do it for years, and when you do it right and people know you do good work you’ll always have a job to do. Couldn’t tell you the amount of crap I’ve helped clean up due to shotty workmanship.
There will be countless jobs lost though, but it’s not always a bad thing. Difficult to say and realize but there’s lots of jobs people do that are just there to be called work. Government is the perfect example! Hire people just to hire.

The only people benefiting from the current education system are the bloated administrative boards and the financial companies who take over the loans after they are settled with the educational institutes! It’s actually disgusting how obviously artificially expensive it is, it’s not like they giving a better product, only 30% of people even get the benefit/pass and then only 50% of that get into a job that requires a uni degree and that’s a number that’s dwindling
I agree, I feel if this is not handled properly we’re going to see another Great Depression and what we know now as society and a job market will need a fundamental shift from paper employees to real crafts men and woman! It’s by no means a bad thing it’s just that so many people are stuck in this paper pusher mindset and it brings them a living and value anything else seems unfathomable and we need to mentally prepare these people because this shift is coming and it’s not going to be pretty
I also agree that bots will be a decidedly methodical job which isn’t what’s always needed in trade jobs and will need engineers fix and oversee it. I do think that bespoke services will become popular again and that small business will really play a big role in the new economy which I like to refer to as a microeconomics where a demarcated area has enough wealth to sustain a number of businesses and institutes and finds an equilibrium between GDP and human happiness and not this profit at all costs capitalist formula
Humans will just need to start revisiting what a valuable skill is and how we build thriving societies where we all contribute to effectively and not seek to always profit off of others and machines
