In a world of truly transformative AI, automating 10 or 20 or perhaps even 100 percent of human labor, work requirements go from cruel to some combination of cruel, bizarre, and silly. They’d be like if Congress were, today, to pass a dedicated law setting labor standards for horse-and-buggy drivers. Imagine telling folks in a world of transformative AI “you have to work to get food stamps.” Work? What work? Unemployment is 30 percent and rising, what are you even talking about?
Wrong. The right takes it just as seriously, they just see job losses from AI as an opportunity to kill off the surplus population.
This seems to be the biggest flaw with people of the center and the left wing; most just cannot put themselves into the perspective of the right wing to critically analyze the logic behind the position.
You cannot judge a right wing policy decision from the perspective of the left. The goals and expectations are not the same, so of course it doesn’t make sense when using the logical framework of the left/center.
Once you understand the logic behind, then you can begin to actually criticize how their logic is flawed from its premise instead of just claiming they are stupid people who don’t know what they are doing.
center and
the leftdemocratsfixed it. leftists are usually the first to come and point out how they are not dumb, like the very first comment here. they are evil yes, but not dumb.
they know exactly how such things will benefit them at our expense, and its usually how they wage class warfare.
Nah mate, people in general across all walks of life have an incredibly difficult time putting themselves into a perspective that isn’t their own. Humans are built to be biased towards our personal experiences. It’s a trap we can all fall into.
I will agree though that leftists usually recognize it more because a lot of leftist theory was founded as a direct criticism of what became known as right wing ideology and how it engaged in class warfare. It entirely will depend on how educated in theory one is to recognize and understand the alternative viewpoint.
They want 90% of the population living in third world poverty, slaving at dead end service jobs, or as office drones at shit wages and no benefits.
If they’re not stopped, that’s exactly our future. And there’s no one to stop them.
