So /g/ explain yourself: if population is rising and human jobs are getting obsolete by technological advancements at the fastest rates in history, what will happen to the stupid peoples?
Will there be any incentive to produce stuff for the stupid peoples if they're flat out broke and useless?
What will freaking happen to billions of peoples when there will be complete automated lines of production/building?

If trump is elected he will put capitalism on life support for another 4 years or so but it's on its way out. Capitalism cannot contract. That's not the way it works. It must grow continuously or it dies.

Capitalism doesn't need growth. It does though require that competition continue. This is what we are encountering in alot of industry now. It has gotten to the point where most industry is taken over and controlled by the companies that throw huge amounts of money at r & d. This is good because we have many companies working towards higher technology. The bad part is that most competition can't reach that level. This is on fact the reason capitalism won't work. Competition is what capitalism needs but technology prohibits competition from reaching the same level.

BTW I'm a capitalist fag.

Capitalism can't be sustained without enough people to buy the goods, and without jobs those people won't be making enough money to be buying the goods. Universal income is the short term solution, the long term solution is a complete revolution of the economic system itself.

The thing is : the capitalist machine will produce but the people won't have the jobs to pay, who has the money to pay?! The 1%.
And they'll pay for whatever the fuck they want(they'll probably buy every land and building), certainly not handouts for the poor as we 've seen in the economic crisis where they profited more than in other times while the middle class and the poor struggled.

Most of the world's problems stem from poverty. You can point fingers, call people lazy, say they are failures and don't deserve anything, etc. But it doesn't change the fact they're poor and turn to crime, and will mug you while you're walking home from the expensive restaurant you like. Just throw them in prison? Look how that's working out. We have the highest prison population on the planet and it's turned into a fucking industry of its own. I shudder to think of how much money the government spends on the prison population. It might actually be cheaper in some states to implement basic income. I'm sure problems won't disappear overnight, but it'll be a step in the right direction.

And for fuck's sake, legalize weed. I don't even smoke it but come on. We're throwing people in prison for something as innocent as getting stoned when it has less effect on you than drinking alcohol?

Won't happen until the entire world is on the brink of collapse, and even then it won't happen until the absolute last second.

The working poor are defending the current system using propaganda from the rich. In the last election cycle, the poor were defending giving more money to the rich by repeating stuff like "they're JOB CREATORS!", as if the rich are creating jobs out of charity and should therefore be worshiped.

We live in a world where people fought better health care because "the JOB CREATORS can't afford it!". The very idea of basic income is laughed at because we don't want our precious job creators to pay more taxes. The poor would rather pay the tax themselves instead of making the wealthy pay it.

Nobody even realizes how deep the divide actually is. The amount of wealth that the people on top actually have is beyond comprehension for most people. Most of us live on budgets, some live paycheck to paycheck, some dream about home ownership but know it will probably never happen. The wealthiest people can purchase private jets and entire islands with the same consideration that we would have when buying a roll of toilet paper.

But to most people, that's the way it should be. They earned it, and we all deserve to starve. When we're all replaced by automation, we'll cry tears of joy because our job creators can reap more profits and pay lower taxes.

In an ideal world, we'd either be working less for the same pay, or be getting paid more. Technology and automation has allowed for massive productivity gains for the average worker.

In reality, business owners have absorbed those productivity gains, which has led to the increasing income disparity we see today. Workers are expected to maintain the same hours and pay, while the productivity increase has led to jobs being cut, since the same performance can be had out of less workers.

I believe that this will continue until we reach a critical point of unemployed people, not able to feed/house themselves. At some point there will be a big angry mass of hungry people, which has historically shown to be dangerous to the wealthy. At that time there will probably be some sort of basic income implemented to pacify the population.
>>
>>55393455
I suppose we understand each other then, but I question how much incentive is driven by money alone. If anything it's an intermediary, rarely the true incentive.
>>
>>55393533
>critical point of unemployed people, not able to feed/house themselves.
While the employers already bought everything and most of the plebs are on rent.
>will be a big angry mass of hungry people,
Like the French/Russian revolution.
>>55393549
A very powerful indirect incentive.
>>
>>55393533
This shows the root of the issue. Unless there's basic income at some point (or something along those lines), who will buy the products? At some point the products need to be either given away for free or stolen by mobs of people who can't afford it.

The very way our economic system works right now it's not adapted for what the future inevitably brings. The cycle grinds to a halt when wealth accumulates to the few, and before you know it you have a French Revolution, or maybe even something worse.
>>
>>55393594
>>55393614
I'm hypothesizing that the wealthy have learned that big hungry mobs are traditionally dangerous to them.

My guess is that they will implement some sort of handouts/basic employment, where people don't feel like it would be worth it to start a revolution. If your family has a roof over their head, food in their bellies, and entertainment, is it worth risking death and destruction?
>>
>>55393676
IngSoc will save us all!
>>
>>55393614
The rich won't have any incentive to make the products in the first place cause they won't be interested in PEOPLE.
Why make food/clothes for people that make food/clothes or construction equipment that has a fully automated line of production?Why even bother making FOOD for people that can't get a foot in the door of the automated economy ie are completely useless?
Stock prices for making food/clothes etc will drop cause the money is in the hands of the rich anyway and being that worthless they'll go bankrupt in the new economic ecosystem and people will starve.

>>55392531

>>55393676
>will implement some sort of handouts/basic employment, where people don't feel like it would be worth it
If a revolution will be occurring the politicians' heads will roll as per usual.
The rich never made their fortunes doing that instead they did it by being a bunch of cut-throats.
And even if they give handouts that would be to buy some time to figure out how to get rid of the RISK.

Democracy will make sure that stupid people don't die out. Democracy is based on the majority opinion, which is predominantly made up of people of intelligence that is average or below.

This majority opinion will vote in its favor, so as a result, a democracy favors the stupid man - and if the stupid man wants jobs, democracy will give it to him.

One way I see of stopping this negative cycle is by introducing corruption. Corruption allows people with power (i.e. the world's elite) to influence the democracy's decisions in ways beyond their raw numerical quantity. In essence, corruption multiplies a social class's population by its power, thus equalizing the scales.

So if you want the idiots to die out and technology to replace them, embrace corruption.

Look at the ultimate democratic country, the US, 2 major parties all bought out at every move, whether campaigns or legislation.

The US is an oligarchy though, with tough controls to prevent the people from getting too much power. The militia is one of the last resort controls (contrary to popular belief, the 2nd amendment isn't there to make sure that people can overthrow their government, but so that they can't).

This. The only purpose of laws is to counteract our natural inclination towards egoistic choice and force us to adhere to a system that has a better collective gain (at the cost of worse individual gain).

In the absence of laws, a society becomes evolutionarily unstable and regresses towards a chaotic anarchy, which prevents progress and will eventually cause it to be wiped out by more developed nations.

In the wolf/sheep example, the majority would be happy for a day and then starve out because sheep no longer exist. Laws that humans choose for themselves (i.e. egoistically) have the exact opposite effect of what a law is supposed to have.

For example, if everybody votes to abolish taxes (egoistic choice), the entire population would suffer as a result (since taxes are the binding mechanism that force us to care about the whole). This is why democracy is fundamentally flawed. If people knew what was good for them, governments wouldn't be required.

Let's be real, the only immediate problem is the white people. The chinks and poo2loo's are already starving, to them it's not gonna be much worse, and might be countered by the extra amount of food available from the west.
That leaves us with 500 million white people. Lets strike 150 million off that, the people in countries falling because of non-robot issues (Mass immigration in europe), plus people already living on welfare. So that's about 350 million.
Lets go all out and say 90% are now not only useless, but unable to even contribute, even in giving them slave labour they only hinder work as a robot could have been in their place.

270 million people, fed, housed and watered. Mass suicides for all those brought up to think without contributing to society they'd be not useless, but that uselessness was inherently negative.
Many drugged up beyond reason just to keep happy. Some content with their own creativity, many more content with nothing more than the content of the creative (See what I did there I'm so fucking clever).
Throw in VR to the mix. I for one sat down once and played viscera cleanup detail for six hours straight.
That's a start.

why do conservatards always break down basic economic theorems as if they were the only person in the room who understood them?

everybody knows that basic income is liable to make the value of money drop. that is not a big enough obstacle to stop considering it as a solution

eventually, underemployment will become such a widespread issue that it will become the only way for society to be humane. the benefits outweight the consequences, unless you only consider its effects from the point of view of a middle class office worker who went to college on daddy's wallet and who never encountered adversity in their life

Because apparently it's necessary. His claim is not just that
>basic income is liable to make the value of money drop
but rather that it will always drop the value of money enough to defeat its function - to provide a minimal standard of living for everyone - unless there is a cost to it. Sterilization could be that cost. You get the income as long as you can provably no longer have children. It's simple to verify and permanent, so no large bureaucracy is needed. What's there not to like?

Most of the "people" you're talking about are actually shitskins. Most of them are only alive because the western world feels sorry for them and provides food and clean water for them. It's a known fact that shitskins can't grow a significant amount of food without whitey's help so once the Western world is forced to deal with the Islamic question or succumb, there will be a mass die off of shitskins simply due to a lack of food. This is a good thing, they are largely a waste of resources and land.

But afterwards and once automation takes hold in the Western world I can see minimum income becoming a thing.

>Because apparently it's necessary. His claim is not just that
Yes it is. And everybody knows. You don't have to tell us what we already know. We are beyond this part of the thought process.

>but rather that it will always drop the value of money enough to defeat its function - to provide a minimal standard of living for everyone
Minimum income is meant to fill the gaps between employment, not to replace work. With the current system: Employment followed by welfare, you get people who become unemployable because they are on welfare (a taboo for employers), and can't afford their rent, end up in the streets or become criminals. The cost of basic income would even out the inequalities caused by the job market. We would all work as much as we would have worked without it, we would get a little less out of our work, but in exchange it would also mean people don't end up in the streets or turning to crime because the job market ignored them for over a year.

> unless there is a cost to it. Sterilization could be that cost. You get the income as long as you can provably no longer have children. It's simple to verify and permanent, so no large bureaucracy is needed. What's there not to like?
You're fucking insane. Basic income is meant to ensure income for when employment isn't sufficient. It's being proposed because the job market is not providing enough good jobs anymore. There should be no cost to it, especially not social darwinist you fascist sociopathic twat. Jesus fuck.

What do shitskins need to reproduce? Well, like any other mammal they need food, water, and the opposite sex. Severely limit food and water and jamal and his 15 chillens will all starve to death, their numbers won't mean jack shit and will work more to hinder them than help them.

You don't get it, I think. You can enjoy doing research even if you can't compete with the machines in doing it. It is intrinsically rewarding to many humans to find out new things even if they are not contributing to society this way.

People have thought and written about this whole business. Read http://lesswrong.com/lw/xy/the_fun_theory_sequence/.

>Programmers will be obsoleted last by definition
Nah. Pajeet-tier programmers will be among the first to be obsolete. Simple software is very easy to create automatically (building websites, or simple apps). Just tell Siri what you want and it will create an app for you which does that.

But completely automating physical tasks is a lot harder. Building houses, streets, etc. Repairing stuff, cleaning. Not to mention that it requires expensive hardware. Those kind of jobs will too be safe for the foreseeable future.

I'd suck one anyway.
Actually, depending on definitions, I kinda already do.

You might be able to make machines to automate parts of it, but not the complete process.
>>
>>55396883
I know, I know.
You make a good example for both sides of the argument though.
On one hand, you're obviously content just researching for the sake of researching, no monetary incentive involved. On the other hand, you phrased it as if it was job security that mattered. As in "I'll be fine, I'll still have a job", which was a nice way to demonstrate that even the people now that are happy to work for the sake of work are still hung up on the old work to live ideology.

>Pajeet-tier programmers will be among the first to be obsolete.
That is true, but not for the reason you suggest it is.
>Just tell Siri what you want and it will create an app for you which does that.
Not really. There is a lot to software development that you can not automate sufficiently without an artificial general intelligence. The historical trend has been that software products replace writing custom software (e.g, the spreadsheet replaced a lot of entry-level contract programming and the same goes for WordPress). This is business as usual in the industry.
>Building houses, streets, etc.
Those are getting automated soon with concrete printers and self-operating construction vehicles that will follow self-driving cars. Interior decoration, not so much.
>Repairing stuff, cleaning.
Now we are talking. Small-scale, cheap, varied work that requires manual dexterity is going to last for a while. Your barista isn't going away just yet.

Supervision will be needed just in case.
Assembling houses and even hotels made out of parts is even easier.
Plenty of cleaners for any budget.
Lots of road building machines got automated , not fully, give it 2 years or 4.

Why was there no movie of it in action?
Also, that's just a robot to lay bricks. There is A LOT more to building a house.

It will be possible, sure, but it will be a very long time before completely automating it becomes viable.

Jobs are a thing of the past soon for the low-middle classes.
Think about the millions of pajeets that will happly do cleaning work or make clothing.
Tech industry will get flooded more and more because its the only thing that really makes the money ( they tell you that now )
Forget working in a fast food place as kid because that is getting automated right now.
Forget buying cloths in a store because buying on internet is cheaper and also don't need people to do that stuff.
Forget working in general in 10-30 years.

I fear the elites and their Agenda 21 might prevail, because so far it seems like everything is going according to their plan. The world is beginning to panic and food prices keep rising, not to mention their attempt to take peoples guns away while confusing people with their genders to slow down the population growth. I get the feeling that Trump might be in on the plan, that this plan is so bulletproof that not even Alex Jones can see the Trump card being played.


All this talk about automation and our place in society leads me to believe that we might be wiped out. There are top tier economists who say that a basic universal income under a socialistic government will inevitably collapse just like the Soviet Union. Which leads me to believe that "their" plan to reduce Earth's population down to 500 million could occur.

I do concur with some of your points anon, but the consequences have become so developed intergenerationally. Literacy, numeracy, concentration, critical thought/reasoning (Higher cognitive function) in environments of poverty and become bred out of entire social groups that don't require it for success. Their numbers skyrocket because they are more impulsive but their skills become static.

My bet is that the doomsayers in this thread are wrong because they only have rhetoric and no numbers, and probably don't understand that if we were approaching overpopulation basic goods would skyrocket in price.

Let's see.
