    That would mean CEOs would share the benefits of automation with employees. They won’t. They’ll cut 60% of staff and work that 40% full time or more.

        They seek shelter in the belief to be benevolent, for otherwise they would see themselves as the evil they are.

        The older they get, to more they realize that their money won’t save them. They want to be immortal, they want to have a legacy, they want to be remembered kindly.

        Of course there’s also some who know they’re evil and are OK with it. But even those are not immune from seeking something… higher. See Thiel’s antics with the antichrist.

      2 options,

      A) they are intentionally making shit up because it makes them rich.

      B) investors prop up delusional idiots who say shit like that for profit

      It’ll be really shitty jobs, too… And the grand majority will only last as long as it takes to roll out the cheap robotics.

      They’re going to replace nearly everyone. It’s so goddamn obvious. First, the good jobs will be taken, though. We’re there now. Right now.
