Good. Working is bullshit. Swapping my time and labour to make some billionaire richer is a mug's game. I gave up on that shit a while ago but it does pose a problem for us - how to survive? Meaningful work - sure, no problems there. Personally I would like to get paid so I can do the things I want to do. Actually I don't even need to be paid - I just need the means to survive.
During dark ages, people faced wars, pestilence, oppressive rulers, financial hardship, and social ostracism. Despite these challenges our ancestors must have been driven by a spiritual perspective that sustained them and a relentless desire to innovate and solve problems.
I am interested in positive psychology and always been entranced by the will to survive in insects, flora and fauna and humans. I would love to hear from individuals who have found the mind set to survive, who found ways to pay their way and teach their children.
What was the motivation that made you Michael, call the ambulance and then go thought surgery and rehabilitation?
AI does not collect and split firewood, AI does not un block toilets, AI does not build a house. Real skills, those your forefathers knew are the ones you need. If you can’t change a tyre on your car, how are you going to fend off AI, if you rely on google maps for directions because you can’t commit a route to memory, your AI future is already here. If the auto checkouts are you convenience dream you have sold out quicker than they thought possible.
it does build houses, done so for a while and it does it in a day, or less may now. they have a new now that does tiling. I really don't tyre changing will be an issue, but it's not really a job, is it. Refusing to look, and it's all there to see, it's working talking about. And the close minded will be most at risk. It's all about worth. And the only hope we have is to be opened minded, courageous enough not to only see it for what it is, but to discuss it like we weren't each other's enemy.
“Useless eaters” or “Useful dreamers”? I wonder how Yuval, and the other 500 million hoping to be left after the cull plan to justify their own existence? Seems the same judgment of human worth should be applied across the lot of humanity; including the smug, self-righteous “elites”.
I personally believe it important to acknowledge that we are all created in God’s image for a purpose. That purpose is to be in community, and to live and create in celebration of the Creator. The worth of a smile, a laugh, a tear shed for joy or sorrow; a moment spent in awe of expression of God’s gift to another is the stuff that makes this all worthwhile, and full of meaning.
Yuval Harari would do well to take a moment to leave his ivory tower, and try to notice and appreciate the beauty that is all around him.
And by the way Mr Harari, measure of human worth is not only a financial endeavor. Try to enumerate the value of a child to her parents, a cherished memory of a loved one lost to her family.
Work for pay is only one part of the whole calculation of human worth. If corporations acknowledged that the work they require is merely a necessary evil to those charged with the tasks to be able to live, and create, and share with others: Then the calculation could be very different.
Your human workers are not “human capital”, to be treated the same as a computer, a phone, or a manufacturing gadget. Machines have no existence outside of the corporate office, or manufacturing plant. Humans have a whole life outside of the corporate facility. Open your eyes Yuval, and stop being JUST an economist.

Thanks Michael good to hear you are on the mend
COURAGE IS THE CURE
Useless eaters*
Madman in technology pushing brainlessness
Computers they want
Replace humanity.
Keep some ones that obey! And ones that work as servants.
Luxury is not a question for any above
You will own nothing and be happy..
Is the motto.
We see it
All comprised to do the job.
Praying all the time.
We needs gods lead- not men who think thier above God- or think we can be gods ourselves
An old tale used thousands yrs ago.
Making a play again for same lines!
Different generation.
Weather mods is a hard one to tackle.
Submission or else.
They destroy all with weapons of destruction
And the weather is another way to use against us.
Clever aren't they??
But I say
GOD WINS!
No matter what these demons think..
Many may lose thier lives.
Battered down by devices we have never seen..
Yet patents tell the truth of all.
But silence of confusion looms!
Prayers needed daily.
Rise above - with love and understanding pray for each other.
We are beautiful.
Just been tricked.
Our future is here now.
Each must decide.
Take care Micheal
Glad to see your back.
And not list your drive for all truths we have to face..
God bless us all.
