    I would be indeed. I am optimistic about the future, lets see how it turns out I guess!

      I wouldn't be. Watch the CGP Gray video I added (Humans need not apply) to see the brick wall we'll hit when automation comes.

        I'm not seeing it. I've watched the video. Could you elaborate? What do you mean by brick wall?

          I think it'd the moment in time when our current economic strategy fails. But i'm not sure.

            Exactly. With the way the current economic strategies work it'll throw us into the biggest recession in history with all the poverty and misery that entails. And sadly, there's too much inertia to avert that very predictable outcome.

      That's if we survive the sixth mass extinction (not to mention global warming) that is happening right now. Seems unlikely but I'd say drastic action needs to be taken to prevent that. It doesn't look like it will happen anytime soon unless everyone who really cares stands for it. That would also be quite a day to behold. Haha.

        I don't know man, we've survived the last 5 just fine...

          Well, not exactly. Not in our current form at least.
