When you say it like that…. Of course you are right. I may sound like a cynic sometimes, but even now I am consulting with the progressive wing of the Democratic Party - in the Bible Belt no less. You know me better than I know myself.
While your informed projections and the others you cite seem like the logical progression, they may be sidelined by hubris. You imply a sort of prosperity dividend, Unfortunately, not everyone would assume that the hubris that escalates with each passing day, would ever allow "our species" to ever collectively evolve to life beyond labor unless we reconsider the ethics of Capitalism and the threat posed by our current species' propensity. for greed and wealth aggregation. I want your insightful scenario to be true. Unfortunately, i may see it through more cynical eyes. I want to be wrong and for you to be right. Thanks for another amazing piece.
Hi Raymond, thank you for your insight. Knowing you and your heart I think humanity may have more of a chance than you think. There are a lot of invisible light-beings out there doing the hard work quietly. Yes, the oppressive forces may be the loudest right now, but we owe it the next generation to rewrite the narrative of greed and scarcity. Every choice we make, every architecture of emotion, technology, and cooperation, writes the code for the operating system our children will inherit. I say let's build the roadmap for a world we want to live in, instead of one that we have to dread. I know your life's work has been all about the human potential and that is why we have so much passion around this topic.
