I'm not taking it for granted until it's a majority amongst the youngest three generations, it isn't even yet majority in the youngest. Once its a virtue passed from parent to child I'll be less cautious in this regard.
No telling ahead of time, but I think that since people were objecting to consumerism before it even existed that its status as an Obvious Bad Idea is safe. Only our geopolitical circumstances lead to its acceptance, which just made it even more unpopular.
McTraveller sums it up well, and the likelihood of humans taking advantage of such a bureaucracy >99%
No doubt. But there's an easy answer for this one: Don't leave anything to be gained from taking advantage. The dirty social and system tricks of our current and previous bureaucracies are all basically sourced in the desire to get ahead; people being jackoffs because they're mentally ill or even just to troll without advancement is pretty rare. People in hunter-gatherer societies don't do this kind of thing, because to what end? Then everybody hates you and you still have nothing.
The non-nightmarish version of the automation economy is the opposite of this in material terms. If you can functionally get what you want and there's no dissemination hierarchy, abusing the system is pointless.
In the more social sphere, people's bosses are often dicks because their reputation is only one factor in the influence they wield, and so they can survive as a dick. Take it back down to your ability to play nice and people probably will, even if only for selfish reasons.
Exactly, humans do not deal well with boredom, thus they take on idle fancies. I doubt we'll decrease in intellectual pursuit, more just that with the majority of society without any work to focus on, all they'll do will be meaningless wastes of time. Kinda like now really, only imagine our worst anime neets, memesluts, yoloswaggins and such dialed to 100 because there is nothing tethering anyone to reality with responsibility
Likelihood 100%, because it's a problem with nature, how pleasure intrinsically has more powerful allures than most endeavours, and not all find STEM pleasurable
Honestly, I'll take it. Anime neets and memesluts are a far step up from work in the factory/fields for 60 years, bang out some kids, die, and that was the primary human existence until like 1985. Mid-50s if we count classic television. We're still pretty new at focusing our lives more around even media pursuits. I think drowning yourself in hedonism is a phase most people end up growing out of, and their experiences during that can still be positive inspiration. If you ask aged 20-30 gymbros and martial artists about their inspiration, you will with shocking frequency get "Dragonball" as the answer. God knows there are enough nerd kids obsessed with science and invention to keep STEM alive if they can just be brought to the door.
Those original childhood desires are crushed more often by circumstance than laziness. Not many people have the determination to keep going, but we can use cultural engineering to help that while also trying to take all the busywork we contact out to the young to machines. People who flip burgers and drive trucks generally do good work and should be recognized for that, but that's also not really what we're on this Earth to do (unless you're really into cooking or trucking).
Those who don't publish scientific journals get shot by terminator robots
I wonder if they can tell the difference between real work and paper mills, if not RIP Middle Kingdom.
No point trying to steer something that needs to die, automation doesn't need the human machine to live, praise omnissiah we can excise the useless humans
I wonder how many
days hours seconds it will take for people to abuse transhumanism like this. I want to lose these flappy meat appendages ASAP and even I see people who want to overdo it.
