    What I like is that when there is progress, the progress is actually experienced by everybody and not just by a wider or narrower elite.

    For instance, I love robotics but I can’t stand that adding robots to society results in unemployment. You can’t just let the owners scoop up all the capital gain.

      I’d prefer the profits of robotics to be socialized rather than putting a limit on the jobs that can be eliminated.

      Where’s our utopia where we don’t have to work to survive? Automation should make that a reality.
