I was thinking, with robots taking over more of the menial jobs it means more of the population will be "forced" into doing skilled worked...I think having a society with mainly skilled workers who are more educated will help to benefit civilisation.
Although we might become too dependent on the machines, but then we already are now... | I don't think it would happen like that. People would be forced to try and 'keep up with the times', but most would still lose out. Then all who didn't get the few jobs going would have poor families. They wouldn't be able to afford University for their kids, so they wouldn't get jobs. But those who did get jobs could send their kids, and they would get jobs. We would have an even more polarised society of wealthy and underclass. Good for me mind, makes socialist revolution more possible.
Socialism is a philosophy of failure, the creed of ignorance, and the gospel of envy, its inherent virtue is the equal sharing of misery.
