RE: The Automation Nation - Biggest Threat To Human Life
Dear @chekohler
Just decided to re-read your post. Somehow (dunno why lol)
We need jobs? No, we need a purpose
I seriously didn't think about it that way. But indeed what we (as a society) need is purpose. More than anything else.
Would you mind sharing with me what do you think about jobs related to social media? Like digital marketers? Influencers? Community leaders? I would love to know your opinion.
If we take the US for example where automation has hit the hardest we can see the following stats of how their society is coping with these changes.
It does seem that all those companies create wealth, but there are very few ways of distributing this wealth between people. We're becoming removed from economy.
Great read, again :)
Yours, Piotr
Yes we need purpose but for many especially in 3rd world counties like myself your job is your purpose they are one and the same! When you lead a simple life you don’t think of differentiating things you look at how you attain a livelyhood and these are the people who will be robbed psychologically and financially by automation
Personally I think any sort of creative job won’t be affected too greatly but rather enhanced by it for a little while! I do think the disruption will come in the fact that these won’t be full time staff but rather independent contractors and we will see less 9-5 bums in seats as remote work and performance marketing continue to be outsourced to reduce labor costs where possible. I think work in creative and content will continue to thrive until it too hits the eventual saturation point then it will taper off!
Agreed, like you can’t take a call center agent who worked for 29 years and ask him to become a web designer or QA tester people just can’t all be reprogrammed. Hopefully we. Find work and purpose for the displaced people with new tech jobs or a subsidy that allows them to create their own livelihood!
It’s going to be super interesting to see how the various developed nations US, UK and so on react to it

Awesome comment @chekohler
May I ask you a question? Did I somehow upseted you in my previous comment? Amount of exclamation marks in your reply suggest that.
Cheers
Piotr
