Topic	Sure capitalism lead us to prosperity and innovation but now its time for change

Machinery will replace our jobs, businesses will collapse People who believe this scenario severely misunderstand how the labor force works. Let's say you create a machine to replace nearly every job; you still need people to collect the resources, design the machines, sell the machines to consumers, research new innovations, transport raw materials, manufacture the machines, people to feed, clothe and entertain all those people. Sure, you could say, 'well a new machine will do that' but then you have the same scenario playing out once again. Basically, people said the same thing about the car and the computer. In both cases, it only killed some industries and created ten new ones for every one it killed. You won't need one person to replace one machine. Even then, why do you need humans in this scenario, you build robots to repair the robots, build the other robots, etc. If one repair robot is broken, then simply another repair robot repairs that robot. When it comes to humans getting ill for instance, we don't need one human doctor to help out every human, and when a doctor gets sick, simply another doctor takes care of them. There is nothing special about organic life, we just are biased towards it since we are organic. In reality, inorganic life is the definitive future, they will be nearly perfected versions of us, more efficient than we could ever dream to be. Antifar posted... I'm not convinced that we have things all figured any more than the feudalists had things all figured out. I'm gonna ralph, but I agree with you Antifar. It is arrogant to believe Capitalism will always be the future when there was a time that other systems worked well during their age, bringing prosperity and innovation like the world had never seen. Eventually, they were no longer viable, their usefulness was used up. They became obsolete, Capitalism was able to replace it. Now, Capitalism is starting to stifle innovation and the general welfare of its people, and it's time to look for its replacement. People like to point out countries like Venezuela as examples of why socialism is bad, but that is just one case, and there are many reasons, like poorly implemented procedures, and a rushed dive into it, that caused it's downfall. If we plan ahead of time, we can do better. --- Number of legendary 500 post topics: 26, 500th posts: 19; PiO ATTN: 2 RotM wins 1, Rejoice my comrades, utopia awaits once Capitalism dies and communism rises. <cite>PiOverlord posted [p:906050873] in Sure capit...
