Re: On the Exponential View
#2Interesting, well documented article. Good to save for reference.
Re: On the Exponential View
#3This is a long read but well worth the time. Takes a higher level look at trends in automation and the econome in general.

#4When are you internet addicts going to realize:
1.) You spend too much time online.
2.) You mistake your online sources of knowledge and experiences for reality.
3.) You are endlessly writing science-fiction.
The amount of collective dillusional behavior that has captured the imaginations of participants on social media forums such as this is truly awe inspiring!

That's just snide without a point.
I'll provide one for you though: despite what it claims ("becoming actors"), all these thoughts aren't really actionable.

#6This was a great article. I enjoyed how he connected many problems facing the world at the current moment, and posited increasing automation as the main reason for wage stagnation since the 1970s. With automation, companies do not need to hire as many workers to achieve the same profits, which is captured by capital rather than labour. Another impressive part of this article is that unlike most papers that only report the problem, he actually proposes some reasonable sounding solutions:
Juno - a ride-sharing service similar to Uber, but that differs from Uber in that it sets aside 50% of the share of capital to be earned by drivers as they give more rides (unlike the more lopsided distribution of Uber that heavily favours capital).
I will definitely give Juno a try if I'm ever in NYC, the only city it's currently offered. Thank you for sharing.

#7The author lost me very early on by making claims about inevitability. Things like the "global village of free information" are hardly inevitable - I believe it's a lot more fragile than people think. "Free" is under continual attack from IP monopolists, and "information" is under rising attack from noise injection. The easiest way to take facts away from people is to drown them in bad information.
"Global village" is under attack as well, from a rising desire for closed-nationalist societies.

You sound like one of those old curmudgeons who were warning people about reading books 100 years or so ago.
And you have created a throwaway user profile, which seems to indicate you have an online presence and reputation that you care about.
I'm going to take a guess that your comments apply as much to your own self as to the people you call "you internet addicts".
