I was using the dark ages as an example of how those in power tried to stop human progression and ultimately only delayed it.
Regardless if it's positive or negative, there's literally nothing we can do. There is no going back from where we are. We just have to push forward.
I personally believe we need to become a multi-planet species - that way there should be more work but the biggest thing we need to do is slow down our population growth.
Overall, theres no actual solution to this problem. UBI is an attempt at fixing it, but ultimately Earth will end up like that in the movie Elysium. It's morbid, but reality.
Yeah it's true. I'll personally try to get off the grid and away from society. I'm worried where it's headed
That is 100% an option but we'll have to wait and see how the future actually unfolds :)
