The economic system is not set in stone. If everyone is irrelevant to it, the economic system becomes irrelevant to everyone, and a parallel system gradually replaces it.
- llamaLord 2y agoIMO we've had the EXACT same economic system since we were living in caves, it's called "supply and demand". What do you do when "demand" for human labour drops to zero and "supply" stays at >8 billion. No account of tinkering at the edges is going to fix that. We're in a much deeper fundamental problem than you might seem to think we are.
