Dear Sam & Co,
When you talk about technology fixing our problems, what happens if all stupid jobs are removed from the planet ? Our Military Prison Religion Police Security Complex is a massive employer of needy people as is our political system, nearly all of these jobs are pointless and take a lot of expensive education to get entry into leadership positions. Can Kevin Kelly replace the pork barrel brigade with a robot army? or does Humanity itself need an OS upgrade ?
