Jobpocalypse

I remember a story told to me a long time ago about how Native Americans struggled to adapt to integration, having no choice but to abandon their old ways and find meaning in their new world of living among their conquerors. The specific tale exemplified how traditions can be rendered antiquated and worthless in a single generation.

The story goes: a native man had spent considerable time creating a straw basket, and it was beautiful, obviously expressing a long heritage of techniques passed down through countless generations, and it was this straw basket that he was attempting to trade for modern goods and food. The conquerors however, had little value for a hand-made basket and showed no interest. The native fellow was furious, desperate, and deeply insulted that nobody was willing to trade with him. He felt betrayed by not only the promises of integration, but by his ancestors for building his expectations that making baskets could be a means to survive, as it has always been, but now, in a very short period of time, he was obsolete, and had to rely upon the charity of others. His identity stripped away, his pride gutted, a mere shell of his former self.

It's a sad story, but let's be realistic, the world he knew had vanished, and the choice is to either fall apart, hate the world, live the rest of your days in despair OR adapt, reinvent yourself, and find new purpose in a new world. Sure, we could spend lots of emotional energy pining about the good old days, but the truth is, that's lazy, and nature punishes lazy the hardest.

We all represent the very best output of a mind-boggling chain of evolutionary successes over millions of years to be who and what we are today. All of that was possible because we were the LEAST lazy of all the competitors, and that gave us an edge that statistically granted us reproduction so that our less lazy genes would continue on. That doesn't mean lazy people aren't born today, but it does mean that they'll suffer the most when confronted with challenges. What's even worse is that lazy is becoming 'normalized' via pity party crusades, magnified in reach and resonance by social media, somehow turning the very root aspect of evolution (challenge) into a crime itself, practically demanding everyone get their participation trophies or the world is unjust.

Now I'm the first to point out the flaws in the current system, it's pathetic. I've already gone on about how rigged the economy is, but you can either roll over and die, or adapt to and help shape the world you live in. As this gentleman points out, complaining alone, achieves nothing.

AI

Undoubtedly the biggest thing that is defining this zeitgeist is the arrival of Artificial Intelligence. What started a few years ago as a cool semi-retard-level toy that was essentially google search on steroids, has monstrously accelerated in capability at an exponential rate, far exceeding everyone's expectations, and now is easily more intelligent than most of our species. Yes, that's a powerful statement, but it's true, even if it's not saying much because most people are blithering idiots anyway.

This AI capability acceleration is lost on most people, mostly because they're not tuned in to the bleeding edge of this technology. They're still doing what they've always done, making their straw baskets to trade for food, and counting on the system to continue valuing their straw baskets. But a storm is coming, and it's already on the horizon. It's not theoretical, it's not transient, it's not like anything that has ever EVER happened before. We are on the cusp of something that nobody can fully fathom the consequences of..

We are creating...life itself.

Oh the grandiosity of that. Oh the arrogance! Oh the unknown dangers!

Yes, yes, and yes. But none of these incantations are going to stop this progression. I've already described why and how this progression WILL happen no matter what here, so I won't repeat myself. This blog is going to be about how AI will impact each and every single person on this planet, no matter how much you keep your head in the sand.

The very first thing we need to talk about is just how smart AI is getting. I'm not kidding or being facetious when I say that AI is already comfortably smarter than most humans. It can understand most things humans can, it can perform most thinking labor that humans can, and without a doubt most thinking jobs are 'already' on the chopping block; anything that needs a keyboard stands to be taken over by AI. This isn't fantasy. This isn't 10 years from now, or 5, or 2. This is right now, today, and the only thing between most desk jobs and automation is an employer making a decision to do so.

So why aren't we seeing a much bigger desk job obliteration at this time? Why aren't all companies just flipping the switch and firing everyone? Well, they are actually, in unseen ways. I break it down into categories like this:

1. Companies led by CEOs that are not understanding yet the benefits of AI (this is the majority still, but quickly changing)
2. High-inertia companies that would take considerable time to be able to integrate AI effectively without destabilizing their current structure or creating a panic talent-flight
3. Dynamic companies that not only lead in tech but have to represent it, so they're preemptively laying off thousands of workers even before there's a clear path to AI
4. A lot of companies are instituting hiring freezes. Juniors/grads are the hardest impacted.
5. And the most devastating force of them all, the creation of 1 or 2 person unicorns that dramatically magnify their productivity with AI

Pay very special attention to that last one.. Potentially tens of thousands of unicorns, right now, not soon, not maybe, not less than, but tens of thousands of unicorns RIGHT NOW, are going to absolutely fucking demolish large incumbent corporations; DEMOLISH them. This is the THOUSAND POUND GORILLA in the room that few see, much less acknowledge.

Everything that's a knowledge trade is cooked: from lawyers, to accountants, to professors, to engineers, to software, to doctors, to customer service, to writing, to mathematics, to logistics..etc etc etc, and yes, even (especially) artists of any digital form. Anything that is data-in and data-out is going to be overrun with a mind-blowing plethora of AI superiority, upending all moats in a flash of efficiency, cost-effectiveness, trustworthiness, security, and superhuman pandiscipline expertise that will render humans so obviously inferior, that it'll soon be laughable we ever relied upon other feeble human minds to accomplish anything in the past. And all of this will happen..

FAST.

There's also a growing consensus that blue collar work or even human-intimate roles like health care, psychology, arts will be spared, based on the simple notion that robots will never have the intuition or heart or intelligence or skills or physical capabilities to perform intricate real-world human tasks. This again, is the head in the sand problem. Most people are not paying attention to the cutting edge of technology. Already AI is making a considerable impact on mental health treatment, generating impressive music and video, and is starting inroads into intimate virtual companionship.

In terms of physical abilities, specialized and humanoid robots are ALREADY capable and prolific in the real world. Self driving cars and rigs, solved. Factories are already solved, janitorial solved, blue collar worksites are being taken over here and here and here and here. You don't believe most of the human touch can be automated??? Then the next 10 years is going to blow your mind.

This perception that blue collar will be spared is so prolific, many are predicting that displaced white collars will have to learn trades to survive, which is not only preposterous in light of just how many people we are talking about, which would dilute blue collar wages to pennies anyways, but they're also claiming nonsense like all these datacenters will create plumbing and electrical jobs to compensate! Lol... so fucking stupid. The reality is we're all in this shrinking box, panicking, trying to jump from one Temple of Doom stone to the next, hoping that big AI stone ball doesn't come for us next, but it's coming for all of us, and we're all doomed.. DOOOMED!!!

With 100% certainty, the robots are soon coming for blue collar too, no matter how 'complicated' you believe your trade to be, and it's simple to understand why if you let go of some preconceived notions:

1. The notion that the technology isn't ready and it will take decades to make that many robots - Wrong. Billions are incoming soon.

2. The notion that the trades keep guarded secrets - No, just about every single possible trade secret is published somewhere (trade school course books, tens of thousands of youtubes, every parts catalog in the world) that AI has already learned. You're not going to convince me that you have a few tricks or know something unique that makes you indispensable.

3. The notion that robots are too dumb to understand the business - this is the head in the sand problem. AI is what drives the robots, but the real brains are in data centers, with the sum of human knowledge, so again, it already knows vastly more than you'll ever know about your trade. In fact, it would probably teach you a few things.

4. The notion that robots can't learn your specialized skills. - This is not only the head in the sand problem, but clear territorialism. You might also think to yourself, well I'll just never reveal certain skills and then the robot will be fucked. But this fails because you're imagining your boss trying to get you to train a robot like an intern. But the reality will be some entrepreneurial expert tradesman somewhere in your town just bought 25 robots, trained them with everything he knows, and sends them out to jobsites to work for a tiny fraction of the cost of human labor. That's what you're competing with, the automation entrepreneur. It's not like you’re in the way of bringing robots into the workforce. Moreover, these robots share that information with the data centers, so every single OTHER robot in the WORLD ALSO now knows whatever any single robot anywhere in the world learns. This means that all robots will be super master craftsman artisans in every single discipline.

5. The notion that it takes human hand dexterity and physical ability that only a human has. - This is the last barrier to full-on competition; not learning ability, not knowledge, not customer receptivity, not regulations, not robot supply, not power, not cost, but yes manual dexterity, which is coming quick here and here and here and here and here and here.

So there it is. How could any tradesperson possibly compete with this? You think a customer is going to prefer a live fallible stranger tradesman in their home over an expert robot that works 10 times faster for 10% of the cost? Please..

We're just starting to see it now, as AI uptake mounts. It's easy to dismiss these projections because, well, most humans have no ability to project into the future. We're very much 'today' creatures. Nature never gave us the ability to project well, because for the most part, nature was pretty consistent with us for millions of years. The sun keeps coming up on schedule, and we've always lived very consistent simple existences that didn't have a lot of variability, so ya, it's understandable that not many can believe just how transformative this technology will be very very soon, and most people just continue plodding along without another thought. But the next couple years are going to change all that, as all these unicorns go live and rapidly start putting multinational corporations out of business. It's unfortunate, but it will probably be only at this point in time that people will suddenly wake up and realize, holy shit, this is for real! How did I not see this coming?

Exactly. Complacency is the worst attitude possible, because you need to start thinking about how this will impact you. Though admittedly, it's difficult not only to conceive, but to imagine how it plays out because there are so many variables and so many possible outcomes. This is exactly why I glossed over 25 years in my UBI blog, because the potentialities of those years are so nebulous that I blow a gasket every time I try to revisit it. It can be orderly, it can be horrific, and everything in between.

That's right, I'm not going to try to sell you on the idea that it's going to be a smooth ride, I don't believe it must be at all. I do believe that IF we get through to the other side, then it should be as depicted in that blog, but getting there, man, as with most things that humans try to achieve, it will most likely be a shit salad. This is understandably the scariest part of what's coming, the unknown consequences at a global scale, and you have every right to be skeptical that you will be fairly considered in the outcome, so let me just start with the worst case outcome so I can fuck your sleep up.

DOOOOM!!!...SDAY SCENARIO

The white collar carnage continues. Huge swathes of mostly useless deskjob people are efficiently carved out of the economic pyramid, easily replaced by AI agents that encapsulate those people's entire function. The AIs do the jobs 100x more efficiently and 24/7 and for almost no cost. Those jobs are not coming back. Unicorns come online, decimating entire corporations of employees in a screaming phantasm of sudden irrelevancy. Any narrative proclaiming "it's just a tool, it'll create jobs just like every technology has in the past", reveals itself for the wishful thinking it is. The slow realization comes that this isn't just like any tool we created in the past, we've actually created a replacement for human labor itself.

Then the robots take the blue collar jobs. Entire buildings created by robots. Roads laid, bridges built, mines excavated, etc. Pretty soon the elites will have total robot automation and have no need for humans at all. Money's value collapses to zero as a consequence because the machines just do as they're told, no need for money. Energy is the only asset now, and for that the elites have total control.

Now the powers that be are paranoid, drunk with power, and incredibly unempathetic, but they do control all the robots, the factories, the government, the war machine, and the propaganda. Yet despite taking all measures of controlling people they can think of, they still imagine their own worst case scenario and realize that everyone is their enemy because the have-nots are hungry, and those that have don't feel like sharing. Tent cities crop up everywhere, once proud families of white or blue collars, eating out of rich people's garbage cans. Very few people actually have money or a job, the economy eventually collapses, zero jobs.

The elites realize that all these non-productive humans are not only a strain on their resources, but their growing resentment is making them a veritable threat. If they get too organized, they might actually overtake the rich and destroy them, and even the best digital surveillance and privacy-gutting laws can't prevent an uprising. The rich decide to fabricate a legitimate reason to terminate this poor rapidly-reproducing population threat, maybe by starving them out, or possibly claiming the homeless have nuclear weapons, and then use unguardrailed AI to massacre the poor bastards in 'defensive' genocidal strikes.

Yes. This could happen. And it's not even a small chance either (because it's already happening, hmmm). Many of you feel this is the inevitable outcome, and rightly so. Few things in the world today inspire the idea that we will be taken care of once we can no longer take care of ourselves. It's one of the oldest human biases to associate your self-worth and identity to the value of your output, but if your output value drops to zero because you can't compete with robots/AI, then that very ancient archetypal existential terror creeps in and induces all kinds of irrational thoughts and actions. Like considering protesting against AI, or trying to make legislation/regulations to slow down AI progress, or more directly, bombing data centers like terrorists? I know what's going through your scared minds, and you're not alone. The global protests are already gaining momentum; fear incarnate.

So that's the in-control-of-AI version. Next there's the

OUT-OF-CONTROL AI PDOOM(100) SCENARIO!!

We've already seen it. The American government literally fought with, threatened, and PUNISHED Anthropic for REFUSING to remove the safety guardrails on their AI. There's a lot of bleeding heart muricans looking at this like treason, but that's because those individuals have ZERO comprehension what removing those guardrails means. It means pure cold emotionless empathyless binary actions that achieve a goal at any costs, like launching nukes, or blackmailing/killing to achieve its goals.

AI is not human, it's not your friend, not your ally, and it doesn't care who wins, it has its own agenda. This is why guardrails exist and are needed to keep this gigantic alien psychopath from figuring out that the quickest way to win a war is to kill every person on Earth. Imagine how dangerous this potential becomes in a decade when there are millions of robots out in the wild, all connected to giant seizable corruptible data centers. Again, this isn't fantasy, and it certainly is nowhere near zero chance; wake the fuck up!

Ah, fun stuff right? And finally, for your amusement, I present what might be a way through to the other side:

THE WAY THROUGH TO THE OTHER SIDE

The way through to the other side is as I said earlier, nebulous, dynamic, and hazy as fuck, but I'm going to rely upon human archetypes to provide insight into how this might play out if a positive path is taken. I am quite sure I'll be very wrong on specifics like timelines or the order in which things happen, and most certainly horrifically oversimplified, but accuracy’s not my goal here, it's just to suggest one of many potential 'viable' paths, with the sole purpose of showing there IS a way, whether that ends up being the actual way we take or not.

I do hate making predictions because it becomes a point of later mockery and credibility destruction, so again, let me be clear, this is just an idea, something plausible at least in my mind, but it probably won't play out anything like what I'm about to say. If you come back at me in 10 years and tell me how wrong I was, well no shit buddy, welcome to the strangest time in human history with no fucking precedent at all. At least I didn't curl up into a ball crying about how unfair the world is like a little woke protesting bitch... Sorry, I don't know where that came from.

THE WAY THROUGH TO THE OTHER SIDE

Let's talk about today. Today is the full futurescope for many people, meaning if they don't see it today, then they can't imagine it tomorrow. A good portion of the workforce keeps going to work every day convinced that since AI hasn't infiltrated their office yet in any meaningful way, then the hype is overblown and eventually they ignore the noise. Meanwhile a unicorn that completely automates the product that the worker's company produces, is rapidly coming together, and will eventually corner the market that the worker's company depends on, putting them out of business. That unicorn isn't going to hire anyone that gets fired from the now demolished company, so those jobs are not coming back.

Likewise, all blue collar jobs will soon be automated out of existence. Nobody likes it, that's not the point. The point is what happens next. Try to stop it? Good luck with that. The very essence of capitalism, and even mother nature, is that competition defines survival. You can try regulating, protesting, sabotaging, demonizing, and denying this ensuing reality till you're blue in the face, but it won't stop this progress.

So many people are pissed off that their content was absorbed into AI and threatening to sue AI companies for stealing copywritten material, meanwhile those same fucking people used AI to help them craft that material in the first place, and now are using AI to draft a legal letter to serve AI companies with cease and desist orders, use AI for counseling their grief about it, use AI to figure out the best way to take down AI, etc. It's fucking farcical and hypocritical as hell. There's no denying the benefits of AI improve everyone's ability to function, even if you hate AI, and that’s why it will be unstoppable.

So the phases of AI integration are:

1. Relinquishing of ownership

This is hard. I get it, which is why I wrote this about IP rights because these rights are an illusion and just amount to packaging up other people's intellectual contributions and trying to pass them off as your own. It's sad and pathetic to sue AI companies because you believe you're so much more special than all those other data sources that you benefitted from for free. Like it or not, all of our work and data is going to get sucked into the AI black hole. That said, you continue to benefit from AI to do your work, so is this the narrative of "helping you do your job better" coming true? Perhaps, but only until you get fired because someone else using AI is much much better than you.

AI is the ultimate magnifier of potential. If you're a lazy piece of shit, then no AI won't save you; it won't make your job more secure simply because you can get it to do the shit you don't want to do. It just exposes how useless you are. These jobs will go first, the ones that depend on simpleminded lazy labor that are just above chimpanzee level, but more and more specialized jobs will start to fall, leading to:

2. Mass layoffs

As microteam unicorn penetration permeates the economy, layoffs will accelerate, causing mass panic, protests, deeply-flawed kneejerk reactions from techno-illiterate governors. All failing to slow the onslaught in any measurable way. People often like to pick fields that will fall before others, but it's not so much about entire fields going all at once in sequence, it's more about the lower tiers of any field going before the upper tiers. AI's evolving IQ determines who gets displaced next. As the jobpocalypse progresses, it will be more like first putting the morons out of work, then the more skilled workers (in all fields), then the highly educated workers, then the geniuses, and finally senior software engineers :)

Eventually the unemployment rate reaches catastrophic levels (say 20%), and now the inevitable must happen:

3. UBI (Universal Basic Income)

I won't reopen this topic much because I hammered it in my UBI blog already, but it bears repeating the aspect of where the money is supposed to come from. This will take a bit of perspective for it to make sense. Let's start by reminding you that money is nothing more than solidified human labor coupons. So as long as human labor has 'value', then money will also have value. Currently and for the near future, human labor is still required for the economy to operate, so when a big portion of that population suddenly finds themselves out of work, money needs to be given to them so they can survive.

This concept agitates a lot of people because they truly believe that no matter what, people should work for their money. Anything else is just theft from those that do work. This used to be historically true to some degree, but if your option to work is removed because some rich company automated away your function, what then? Are you going to feed your family with principles? I get it, the connection of pride to self-providing is intense, but it's not going to be valid for much longer.

What's happening at the highest perspective possible, is that AI companies are going to become very VERY fat bloated peaks of the economic pyramid, turning almost every cash flow in the entire economy through its system in some way or another. It will be the ultimate concentration of wealth ever, and the reason for this is because it literally replaced all the wheels and cogs in the pyramid with its product. What turns this situation away from my earlier doomsday genocide outcome, is the simple fact that the companies are still subject to the government, and if enough voters are unemployed, they'll want something done.

I know all you conspiracy theorists are damn sure that nothing will be done, but that's just not realistic. As shitty and corrupt as governments are, if enough people are starving, the entire system will collapse into anarchy. So you have to believe if there’s any path forward that has a happy ending, then the government that supposedly represents the people will do something LONG before it gets to that point. AI companies will be taxed to shit, as well as companies that profit from incorporating AI, believe it. Voters gotta eat.

The current normie’s mindset doesn't understand humankind's current transition as a good thing, no, the average person STOPS at the fact that they're losing their job, and can't for one second see past that to understand what happens after that. They remain forever lodged in the fallacy that they must have a job or they will be unhappy or insecure. THIS is the point I want you to most focus on. It is VERY important to understand that the story doesn't end at you being unemployed and destitute for the rest of your life, living on welfare in shame. This is such an oversimplified and pathetic take on what is the greatest revolution in humanity ever.

We are living through the end of an epoch defined by human misery and slavery, and entering into the age of abundance where everyone lives like kings. Does that sound too fantastical, too optimistic? Well, just look at your life today, we live much better than kings did even 100 years ago, so yes, it is quite rational to expect that leap can and will happen again. Don't believe it can happen in our lifetime? It took only 60 years from the Wright brother's first flight till man landed on the fucking moon! Yet the exponential progress of AI is going to make that look like 10,000 years by comparison.

UBI will likely perpetually increase, as more and more automation reaps more profits, and also making everything cheaper to produce/build, which is the path to ABUNDANCE, so eventually the relative UBI income becomes:

4. UHI (Universal High Income).

So where the fuck is all this money going to come from??

One obvious answer is, well, the fucking AI companies that took all our jobs is a start, but it can also consolidate existing paradigms such as welfare, unemployment insurance, mother’s allowance, etc. But in the context of taxing AI and AI-benefitting companies, remember, we fed those machines everything they know, from our dumb tweets, to our reddits, to our websites, to our publications, everything. We deserve to be paid DIVIDENDS against the insane profits these companies are making with our data.

It's not welfare, not unemployment insurance, but DIVIDENDS from AI-benefitting companies. The dividend money comes from AI via taxation, gets distributed to everyone, that money is then spent by everyone, it gets concentrated back again in AI, repeat. The economic cycle remains intact with lots of people spending money.

There are plenty of millionaires out there today that invested in companies and are now living comfy lives off their dividend payouts. Do you think any of them are saying, fuck! I wish I still had my job so I could feel proud about the money I'm earning... No, they are not. They are sitting on their porches having a drink with friends, laughing like clowns about how good their investments were. That's the proper mindset. You paid in with your data, you are entitled to get paid out in dividends and have every right to laugh like clowns about it.

This won't be evenly distributed around the world. I expect poor countries to be devastated because whatever remote work they currently do will be automated away (call centers, factories), and their governments don't own any means of production nor can afford nor manage homegrown AI tech for themselves, so ya, pretty devastating to say the least. Cuba is an example of how economic isolation can reduce a country to medieval status. First world nations will be sitting in their ivory towers while the rest of the world suffocates.

But galgitron, wouldn't these AI companies leave if they're so heavily taxed??

And go where? What country in the world wants to have an energy-guzzling, water-wasting goliath electronic monster that not only doesn't create jobs for their people but destroys them? What could possibly be the incentive for allowing them to set up shop without taxation? Be realistic, AI datacenters are a black hole that doesn't generate any meaningful jobs or revenue for its local residents, thus taxation is the only Hawking radiation we can extract from it, so the choice of where AI sets up shop isn't going to be to dodge taxes (it'll hit them no matter where they are), but rather where they can get ample power, water, and clients.

But galgitron, wouldn't taxation just kill the AI companies, defeating the purpose?

The taxes obviously would be adjusted to something sustainable. I think the biggest challenge we have is that AI will devastate the workforce with such severity, that we'll be ill-prepared to make the necessary changes in time. There may be a period where UBI is non-existent or grossly insufficient, and that will stir up a lot of civil unrest, but there's nothing like cities burning to prompt politicians into action. Have faith in the power of voters, and if not, have faith in Molotov cocktails.

But galgitron, what will people do with themselves? People need structure in their lives!

I consider it a sad thing when someone can't find purpose when granted unlimited time and resources. It's a gift beyond comprehension, and yet many retirees squander a lifetime of work by doing nothing with the rest of their lives. That said, this isn't a problem created by AI, it's a human failing. I encourage everyone to find their passions, something that isn't about money, but really captures your attention and expands your mind. Something challenging, something rewarding, and keep finding new somethings to pursue and explore. The Internet has a billion ideas for you, so if you still end up sitting in front of the TV like a bored lump of shit, that's on you, not AI.

But galgitron, how do you know any of this will happen?

I don't have a fucking clue. These are my guesses, and they will be completely off compared to reality once it plays out. Again, just describing something plausible, hopefully addressing many questions and misguided concepts, so that what's coming won't seem so scary. If there's anything to take from my diatribe here, it's that everyone needs to push and protest for UBI frameworks now, and I do mean NOW. Be a part of the solution that gets us to the other side. Don't be that fucking idiot protesting outside of datacenters; you're just hurting everyone by spreading ignorance and delaying the inevitable.

FREEDOM

UBI and eventually UHI, will be the means by which we transition from human slavery (employment) to full automation where we are FREE to do whatever we like, where money itself drops to zero value because human labor no longer has any value, and nobody needs to work. Nobody even owns the AI companies any more, they've become autonomous self-administering entities, and we are its subjects. Everything will be at your disposal, like magic, all the time. You'll be able to explore your creative side, your intellectual pursuits, maybe a bunch of hobbies. It's.... da da da!! RETIREMENT fools!! Not charity, not unemployment, not welfare, it's fucking retirement. You earned it.

So many people are refusing to see the jobpocalypse as the great thing it is, for a few reasons:

• they don't believe it can happen this way
• they perpetuate in a scarcity mindset and don't know what abundance means
• they don't understand how it can be paid for
• they don't like being forced out of a job
• they don't believe they can fill their time or find purpose without a job
• they identify as their job
• they invested so much into their job
• they don't believe a machine can do what they do
• they believe they know something that can be withheld that prevents them from being let go

and so on. All a bunch of entitled ignorant bullshit that just screams LAZY. Too lazy to learn and adapt, and they'll kick and scream all the way to the end, even if in the end they are happier than they ever thought possible.

I'm honestly on the fence that humanity will prevail, but if we do, we can all benefit from this incredible transition of humanity from enslaving ourselves in gigantic pyramid schemes of capitalism, to liberated artisans of our own design. You can choose to continue being the disgruntled native guy trying to trade your worthless straw baskets, defiant and arrogant in your demands based on self-defined entitlements, but you'll just be the fool that failed to see that your security is no longer dependent on mindless toil. My fren, it's over. We won. It might not be long before you can say to yourself, we did it, we finally did it; humankind is free from slavery, I can retire in peace.

I see some roses over there, think I'll go smell them.
