I mean if you have to pay some humans next to nothing to do menial, repetitive tasks, you still have pay them something. Better to figure out a way to get machines to do it efficiently and reliably then just install it and pay it nothing. Then we just need infinite free energy; we could get Steorn (lollo) to provide us with that. Then everything is cool, we live like Iain M. Banks Culture and no more religion. |
It's cool
Ok, but a society like that may still have people within it who are religious. Money and comfort are not necessarily tools which will eradicate religion amongst humans, I mean, are you suggesting the pineal gland is sliced out of everyone's brains at birth? Or that it will evolve out of the species altogether?
