The future does suck. I think that’s mainly because all progress we made in productivity goes straight to the ultra rich.
Just think about what these billions of dollars could have done to our lives… We could have eradicated hunger and poverty, have a new golden age for humanity and science. Instead we have popstars in space and oligarchs controlling the politics.
Without a new ‘French Revolution’ that gets rid of the parasites, oligarchs, 1%, billionaires we will never get to a good future.
Man when i was a kid and i stared to see these assembly robot arms, i was like: woah, when i’m like 30, people probably don’t work anymore, because that’s what the robots do.
When i was 30 rich people crashed the economy and shrugged, and now ultra rich still try to get even richer, and kill the planet, because they don’t live that long anyway
I just finished Ezra Klein’s new book and I thought it was great. It illuminates the history that has brought us here and gives some hopeful ideas on how we can fix it. That is, if there is anything left to fix by next year.

Not only that but setting up the institutions of our society to prevent it happening again
