Which are, in my view, really minor advantages when compared to the disadvantages. Not only in terms of putting people out of work, but in terms of increasing the artifice of the world around us and decreasing its humanity.
> "putting people out of work" by automating jobs is also a good thing
Unless you're one of the people out of work. And even if you don't care anything about them, if there's enough of them then the resulting unrest will be your problem anyway.
There's little nothing more important to the happiness of humanity than increased productivity per capita. That sounds crazy but when you think about it it's true.
Well, this is a very one sided view on the world I'd say. From personal experience, I can surely tell you that I was much happier in countries where productivity was lower. The people there are just so much more pure of heart.
