AI and robots don’t refute the Socialist Calculation Debate.
Get back to us with your proposal to genetically modify human nature.
Hopefully by then we’ll still be allowed to vote it down.
- moxza 1mo agoIs it human nature or the way we've evolved that's the problem? Either way, most of the history of power has involved influencing the mass of humans to dedicate themselves to production while the small group that controls the narrative reaps the bulk of the gains. We stopped having revolutions because the distribution is equitable enough to stay below the trigger point, but the framework is still deeply rooted in our 'nature'. So the real question is not whether the economy will collapse when you take away fictional concepts like money. It's whether we can live without hierarchy. Probably not, IMO.
