If we had them, we wouldn't need to talk about the economic problem. (Mostly because we'd be running and screaming in terror for the pitiful few seconds before being hunted down and laser hadouken'd to death.)

I was proposing an avenue to a solution for the "machines taking over for people's jobs" problem. I warned that the rabbit hole would go deep, but someone jumped into it anyways, so I had to oblige with an answer. The wizard hypothetical is completely out of my hands, though.

The Marx generator will produce Engels-waves which should allow the inherently unstable isotope of Leninium to undergo a rapid Stalinisation in mere trockoseconds.

A sufficiently advanced technology is indistinguishable from magic, and pretty much all magic fiction except Harry Potter boils down to LOTR rip-offs and LOTR is about feudal societies.  So we can look forward to a future of either:

1) Feudalism
2) The rich decide they are a master race so they subvert the government then slowly exterminate or enslave the rest of us

Clearly we are on path two right now and I for one don't like it.  Time for Aqizzer to show up and tell us how great feudalism is an how to make it work for us.
