Yuval Noah Harari on "useless people":
"The biggest question maybe in economics and politics in the coming decades will be what to do with all these useless people.""The problem is boredom, and what to do with people, and how will they find some sense of meaning in life when they are basically meaningless, worthless. My best guess at present is a combination of drugs and computer games as a solution for most."
Comments: What is a useless person? Someone who doesn't have a job? Someone who doesn't have any money? I lost my job to AI, does that mean I'm now useless? Does that mean that the homeless, the disabled, the children and the elderly, have no value either?
Who says that having money and a job is the sole measure of a persons worth? I work for money but actually I value my free time much more highly than my time spent on the clock as an employee. What I do outside of work is personally more meaningful to me than what I do at work. So this concept that a persons value is solely determined by their occupation, and if they can be replaced by AI it now means this person is useless, is such a flawed and foreign concept to me.
Of course, you need to have some form of income, and having a job that contributes something of value is good for your mental health, but it is by no means the total measure of ones worth as a human being. Anyone who says otherwise is really diminishing the human experience, and is thinking in quite limited terms. I think that attitude is one that can only arise from a materialist perspective, one which is completely lacking in self-knowledge and wisdom. The notion that human beings value is solely determined by their economic contribution, is symptomatically arising from the blatant rejection of God, someone completely lacking the perspective which recognizes the sacred divinity inherent in all living things.
To me the most valuable experiences in life cannot be measured in terms of money or economic output.
I think this whole concept of categorizing humans as either useful or useless, must be coming from the point of view of the slave master, which is who Harari represents: the people who own the data, are the people with all the money. People like Bill Gates and Jeff Bezos and the Rockefellers and the Rothschilds.
That's what we are really talking about here, the rich versus the poor, where the rich will get to live forever, and the poor will get to be euthanized and branded as obsolete.
Harari says that they will be given drugs and video games, but why would they even bother to give them that? What do they get out of it?
I think it's a lie. Instead, I think the people that Harari represent plan to kill everybody that they deem to be useless. Whether it's through vaccination, biological warfare, turbo cancer, guns and bombs and nuclear war, mass starvation, global warming, global cooling, death from freezing to death, or death from being cooked alive.
What if they have the technology to control the weather, to cause floods and droughts, ice ages and blizzards, heatwaves and wildfires? What if they have the technology to trigger a pole reversal? The elite get to hunker down in their fallout shelter for 10 years, and have the knowledge and resources to resurface to start the world anew, with all the useless eaters removed.
That's a dystopic vision. It may not happen, but it could.
So what happens when AI and robotics replace all the jobs performed by people? I mean it could happen. I never thought truck drivers and cashiers and retail stockers could be replaced, but they can, with self-driving vehicles, self-checkout lanes, robot stockers and drones, it is theoretically possible for most jobs to be replaced by machines. Even professional jobs, doctors and nurses, writers and teachers, advice columnists and therapists, could be replaced by AI. For now the blue collar trades, like plumbers and electricians and police officers and firemen, seem secure, but even they eventually could be replaced by robots. Even prostitutes could be replaced by AI powered sex dolls that look like supermodels.
Honestly, there's probably no job immune. If you haven't been laid off yet, it's coming, it's just a matter of time. I think Harari knows this. And I think that's what it all comes down to, whether you are useful or useless comes down to whether you are rich or poor, whether you are in the club of very important people, or not.
Your only hope is if you have money and resources to survive without being somebody's employee. If you end up on welfare, or qualify for social security, you'll probably be put on a list for liquidation at some future time.
Otherwise, the only other hope is that laws are drafted and enforced that forbid artificial intelligence from being allowed to replace every job. It doesn't have to happen. They could make it illegal. Even if they have the ability to develop robots and AI that can do every job that humans currently do, it doesn't mean they have to. Perhaps they could make sure to preserve enough jobs to keep people occupied. Also, working doesn't have to be all about making money, it could also be about improving physical fitness, about learning, socializing, and having fun.
Also, I think learning is a huge factor in experiencing a meaningful life. Not everybody likes to read. That doesn't mean they aren't smart or don't know things. Some people prefer listening to podcasts, watching videos, and talking to smart people that teach them things directly, like an oral tradition of acquiring knowledge and skills, learning by listening, observing, and by actually doing, rather than reading. Many people hate school and would never want to go back. But learning doesn't have to be a chore, it doesn't even have to be useful, it can be fun. Even the poorest student must have things they are interested in, that they'd probably enjoy learning more about. Whether it's sports or cooking or woodworking or motorcycles, playing a musical instrument, or learning how to box, hobbies can be cultivated and should be encouraged.
The fact that the only thing Harari can suggest to occupy these so-called useless people is to give them video games and drugs, and I suppose some sort of universal basic income, which is really a euphemism for welfare, instead of promoting education and the virtues of following ones own bliss for its own sake, and that it's possible to cultivate a sense of joy and wonder at any age, and doing so is absolutely instrumental to making life meaningful, even more so than money and occupation, suggests that this guy is not working in the interests of humanity, but rather is working as a dark force hellbent on our destruction.
I think the solution to the problem is clear. AI has got to go, and by extension this means 5G and the Internet of things. Of course, they say that it's here to stay, and failure to adapt is my problem not there's, but unless it's regulated, tightly controlled, and prevented from completely taken over every every aspect of our lives, it's going to lead to a massive extinction level die-off event, and I don't know how it's going to be stopped, but I know it must happen. It's either them or us. I see no other alternative.
Otherwise, someday in the future you may find yourself living in a pod, eating bugs, and playing video games like a lobotomized zombie, while being slowly boiled alive like a frog in a witches cauldron, as they've got you drugged up on a slow drip of state sponsored euthanasia. You drank the Kool-Aid, and mistakenly thought you were going to live forever in this welfare utopia of video games and drugs, but all along it was all a big fat lie, and you were really just a pig being fattened up for slaughter.
