He can also write a script, that’d also be smart. But I understand this is more just him sharing his thoughts in the moment, but just how I would’ve done it.
Politicians can be replaced by technology. Mandatory direct democracy is is possible for example. Or even AI ‘politicians’ that follow popular opinion on policy. All of politics can be automated, the only caveat being the security and integrity of the system in the face of hackers etc. however, given the corruption of the existing political system, I think this issue can be mitigated more easily than what we are working with now.

Science: I can increase your company's productivity, so that your employees can work 4h instead of 8h, still making the same produce and money. Industry: ... oooor: They can still work 8h, and we gonna DOUBLE the produce and money. That's how things run.

Dude you literally just described universal basic income that just started being debated today and Amazon grocery stores were you just walk out! You did this 6 years ago bro.. savant level stuff
He's probably got Hyperlexia 3. Google it, its super cool. Its essentially "Kids who grew out of Autism" which basically is just they were misdiagnosed autistic instead of Hyperlexia 3 because it isnt yet an accepted medical term.
This is someone that people look at and wonder if there's something wrong with him. But in reality everyone is insane and he looks at it as a normal person should
They showed when they put a group of Asperger people together they communicate better and on a higher level then regular people, and funnily enough if you put a "normal" person into the group they have many of the communication problems that the the Aspergers people are generally know as having. If the ratio's of Aspergers to normal people were reversed, Aspergers people would be "normal" and would on average actually be better at communicating with other, "normal" aspergers people. And given the character traits people with Asperger generally express I wouldn't be surprised if the world was much better off.
Erik Fok that logic doesnt make sense. The word insane is built upon the fact that someone thinks in a way not natural to other people. It isnt possible for the majority of people to be insane even if our ideals are dumb, if everyones ideas were dumb then the person with smarter ideas would be considered insane.
Honestly, you can tell that this guy is truly intelligent. I'm sure he has no commerce background but explained the concept of a defferred expenditure perfectly with his grocery store example. Generally when people come up with their own ideas you'd find a lot of logical gaps but with him.. when you look at things from his perspective i.e from the perspective of an idealist you'd understand that his logic is flawless. Hope he comes back.
His logic was not flawless, He's saying EVERYONE will provide for each other, that means, EVERYONE WILL HAVE A JOB. While saying so many jobs are pointless and we should just eliminate them. WHILE SAYING replace them with AI. WHILE SAYING nobody should be allow to progress and be a 1%, because if you become a 1% that means you can abuse this system and not work while forcing people into whatever Labor you want.
One of the flaws I have a problem with is the innovative aspect. I understand that this guy thinks that innovations like the newest phone are more harm than good (I can partially agree with that), but innovations in the medical field are very beneficial for people. And while some innovations will still be made with this reduced hours/covering basic needs idea, it would be severely slowed down. People won't have an economical incentive to innovate because in this "perfect society" he described, there's a lot more focus on enjoying life rather than working for a nicer life. The reason I believe people will still innovate though is the fact that some people love what they do and they love a good puzzle. However, I believe that even with these natural innovators, we'd still fall behind in the health field and we'll see a significant decrease in life expectancy. However, I do respect his idea, it's just unrealistic... and it would almost certainly require several communist-inspired laws to get to that point. The only feasible way I could see it not requiring such laws is if like a hundred million workers around the US refuse to work unless companies agree to shorten hours and invest immensely into technology... but that would probably crash the economy due to the amount of businesses that would have to shutdown.
I've said these same things especially about the self checkout part it's like now they are pushing you to be independent but ppl still feel afraid. When ppl invent things it's to lesson the workload. Not create another job to get somebody else to lesson the workload. I still don't understand why grocery stores stayed open 24 hours. it's stupid
I still.dont understand why self checkout need an overseer to watch someone checkout groceries. then another checkpoint when walking out. LOLOLOL like wtf
A much cheaper alternative is we have everything coded in a book. You park take the book select items and punch the codes in to get the items like in a wending machine.

My mind has drifted over handful of ideas which have been discussed in this guy's videos, but I've never really looked at them in such depth. Great insights.
He didn't quit. He just returned to his planet for humanity to solve their problems on their own. Edit : After losing hope in humanity, he returned, he's now known as xkcdHatGuy.
He has almost flawless logic and reasoning, and I agree with his argument. The problem? he is way too idealistic. Companies are greedy. (some!) Schools do a poor job of educating students due to lack of government investing in schools. It is getting harder to get a job out of high school/college that can actually support you. All of this is related to capitalist ideas. Not promoting any ideology here, but something needs to change fast.
The way that some people can think and speak at the same time impresses me. I like to believe that I "think before I speak" when reacting to someone else's statements, but to be able to monologue coherent and logical theories in real time, it just blows my mind. Especially how young this man appears!
this guy was waaaaaay ahead of his time, i wonder what he thinks of the new grocery store robot that goes around like a roomba and when detects spills starts beeping so an employee can come clean it up
So basically because nobody needs to work since technology has taken over all of the jobs, we would all be free to have what ever hobby we wanted. The only "job" that would be absolutely necessary would be having technicians around to fix machines when they are unable to fix themselves. Of course, those people wouldnt need pay either because theyre real geeks and enjoy that sort of thing. You would also want human therapists. Cool. So that means it would no longer be money that was the motive, or a fear of poverty. It would be rushing to make sure that nothing in the system falls out of place and a fear of having to take the place of robots and restart the old economy. I would definitely make a movie on this topic. Human nature is really fascinating when it comes to things like these. As of right now, it has prevented the economy from becoming this developed.
What a brilliant concept! Never thought about it like that! You are absolutely right! I see people working extra jobs even when they don't need to just to afford things they don't need to. When they get a raise of a better paying job, they go and buy bigger house, new car, and start spending extra. Now instead of working less and enjoying their free time more they feel the need to work more just to afford things they didn't need in the first place. It is kind like unemployment crisis
This isn’t exactly complex stuff, Karl Marx predicted all of these things happening in our world, maybe you should read him. I would start with value,price and profit then wage labor and capital. Next state and revolution by Lenin and then women race and class by Angela Davis. All are very important books to make you conscious of the capitalist world around us
Look up Peter Josephs works. The Zeitgeist Movies, Culture in Decline, Interreflections. He breaks down everything this guy is saying further down in technical terms and outlines something called a resourced based economy. Its amazing stuff. I highly encourage you to watch his movies and videos and share with your friends.
***** He's talking about the system we live in. In the system we live in, a capitalist society, high unemployment rates are detrimental for survival rates and standards of living. But in a post-capitalist society where technology frees human beings from tedious and overly laborious jobs, high unemployment is a good thing. But I'm sure you realize that, you just wanted to get your racial jabs in.
***** I don't find this conversation interesting. Sorry, I won't be replying. But I will say this, I didn't think what you said was racist. I just don't think that my race or anyone else's condition who looks like me had anything to do with the post and therefore should've never been mentioned. That is why I deemed it "racial" and not "racist." There is a difference.
***** so your goal was to attack a person based on their profile pic? Well all I can say based off your last paragraph: People like you are the problem in the TH-cam community, people who rather than look at the content of a person's post would attach their race.

The problem with companies introducing these types of systems, reducing hours, paying more is that the company has to be willing to lose money for it. While there is no net loss (besides the initial cost) when comparing the earnings before to after automation has been introduced, we all know that companies would see wage adjustments as a loss and thus wouldn't go forward with them if it makes more sense monetarily to cut jobs/stagnate wages to increase their overall profit. Companies don't care about morals, they care about the bottom line, and making any less money then what they could potentially earn is seen as a problem to them.
Another thing to note is inflation, simply raising everyone's pay just drives down the value of a dollar. If the top 0.1 Percent we're to just randomly use all their money they would completely crash the U.S. economy. Not saying that greed isn't a factor though, just we're not really sure how an "economy" like this could survive.
Not true, companies only make money because their employees work, they rack in way more then is needed why employees constantly struggle and when struggle is to much they replace em like robots meant for their benefit alone
The strong should care for the weak and help support their growth cause your only as strong as your weakest link, equality, instead they seem themselves as superior and selfishness and greed consume them along with apathy wich is every sign your serving Satan instead of god...it's a lack of empathy and selfish greed that allows poverty to exist...period and a fact
good point. microeconomists and business analysts would reasonably see no reason to take an action that will reduce their net profit. At the end of the day, every socioeconomic ideology has intrinsic drawbacks; for capitalism, it's an emphasis on profit which oftentimes comes at the expense of the rights of the working class. Justice frequently becomes a subordinate priority, especially in a society where healthcare is commodified.
To be honest, as a human we have terrible wants and essential needs. Our wants are to dominate over each other which means we would never have a society where anyone would be happy.
@@oku12 I won’t fight you for having an opinion, buuuuuut if you were to count what political leaders and people with any real power do, it’s no wonder why people still live in poverty in certain parts of the world. Not a lot of people really want world domination, but it’s common to have power hungry geriatric men rule the world because it’s people prefer to divide against each other than to hold their leaders accountable.
The more I think about intelligence the more I realize that intelligence humanity has is really just a burden for most of the people. They just work in their nine to five jobs, get home, dont do anything productive or anything that will help them progress either physically or mentally and just do this till they are old enough to retire. Most people do not realize how much of a potential humanity has. Of course few people used this in their advantage and thats why there are such a few people with much more property or money than 99% of people has. People need to understand that there is no need to fight eachother, we are intelligent enough ( in theory ) to make such a utopian living, but materialism overall just cant let it through. You have so many business guides, tutorials and what not from most successful of people, but you dont see most of the people getting further. How is that possible? Thats just natural selection at its finest. That is advantage and at the same time disadvantage of current regime, capitalism. You just have to work hard and have some luck to get to a point, where you dont really need to progress so live a happy live. But dont think of me as an anti-capitalist. I think most of the regimes ( of course not counting the extreme ones ) has pros and cons, and humanity has quiet an experience with so many types of regimes, but its only on us, to select the best and get rid off the worst of these regimes, and get to a level, where everyone is happy, where there is utopia.
Greed will steal away these bright futures because we as a society place value into the wrong things. Hope your intelligence did not draw in the attentions of those too greedy for their own good. The world needs people like you in their place and they fear it.
For the grocery store analogy, it is about greed. Reducing hours and increasing pay means less money for the chain, therefore they don'y do that, and end up just firing the extra people and averaging out the workload over less people. So, those few people simply get a raise, and the rest- whoops, now unemployed. That stacks up exponentially over every store in the world and we DO end up having an unemployment crisis. I get your drift, and your lobby is very logical, but the greed of business owners makes this plan inconceivable to me.
See, that's the real issue. IF they were better at being greedy, they would know how much it would actually be beneficial for THEM by setting people free from this infinitesimally miserable work paradigm.
Strictly from a philosophical point of view, analyzing the whole of society with a small community will never work. Additionally, this very conundrum is they key reason why the most intelligent and well-rounded individuals "converted" to communism in the 20th century.
xkcdHatGuy At one point my local store DID replace all of the cashiers with machines and profit went down significantly. The had to convert back to human cashiers as many people prefer to talk to other people, and were beginning to go to the other grocery store instead.
It isnt necessarily about greed. Thats a silly word in of itself and is essentially just politicized. Its not "greed" of business owners, its a system where business owners see no other choice but to lower wages or fire people because maintaining a business in this system is too costly to have that many workers. Not all businesses are good but not all are greedy either.
The problem is no one is willing to work for someone else's food. The reason we have our current system is because like it or not, we have a lot of people who are not willing to work for their own food, children's food etc...
+bryce e In the world we live in today, we have to test the people for what they want. If they can't fight for it, you don't survive. It's very simple, yet hard to agree with.
+bryce e It's a combination of lazy people ruining the system, and greedy people ruining the system. No one should get free money for sitting at home playing X-Box, but what if they spent their time pursuing scholarly endeavors to help humanity and our planet as a whole? We are being held back by this system and it's destroying us. What if we taxed the rich solely for education for those who can't afford it? Wouldn't that be a good use of the extra money they have? That way the lazy people don't benefit from free money without doing work in some way, and rich people give back part of the wealth they're hording.
Thats a pretty good way to put it, I like that. The only issue is politicians believe a solution has to be complicated. Many of our government programs bring more downfalls than benefits.

Okay, then I demand that jobs being created overseas be brought back to North America until people start to demand that we don't need those jobs. A temporary solution that goes toward a longer goal.
And you demand that how? Companies and corporations don't recognize a country, only the world as a whole. You cant demand a company employ people unless you live in a dictatorship of course.
Are you kidding? They don't see the world at all, all they see is profit and themselves in their own tiny bubble. Laws can be passed to require corporations to hire a certain amount of a domestic work force ultimately benefiting domestic economies. Also, it's a hypothetical ultimatum. You don't seem to understand what discussion is being had here.
sdgundum990 "all they see is profit and themselves" this is true of course. You can pass as many laws as you like but if a company doesn't want it it sets up somewhere else, as they do now. I'd like to know how you can demand that a corporation moves to the USA?
The only problem is, businesses would see this as a way to cut the amount they have to pay out to employees. So they would end up cutting people's hours and NOT increasing their pay to match, for the company to increase profits even more. The problem is the greed of the company in the first place. They aren't focused on making sure their employees are making enough to live on.
This theory is assuming that the leaders/CEOs are free of greed. It would definitely work if that were the case. However, making the same amount of money while not requiring as much labor/resources to the company, means more profit, and they will keep it that way. The job crisis is caused by this exact concept. Everyone wants more money, and they don't care that their minimum-wage workers are struggling. McDonald's could definitely afford to pay their workers a lot more, but to maximize profit, they pay them as absolute little as they legally can. I really wish the world didn't work this way, but it's just how it is.
No. He's talking about a resource based economy, which is a silly idea. Switzerland is just doing that because they have a huge amount of mechanization in he workplace in proportion to its population.
+Pierre Bonhomme If you are refering to the idea of the unconditional basic income, let me tell you: We are definitely not doing that in Switzerland! I don't where you've read this, but it has not even been seriously discussed. There was a vote in the parliament about it but about 90% declined the idea. And as far as I know, the swiss people think similarly
***** but that shouldn't be the case, that's what this guy is getting at. It's the norm to think that but if you think a way around working, thus developing a method in which everyone can get what they need without doing useless labor via technology.
I’ve been going through this guys channel for about two hours now and I say that this video very strongly stands out to me because I’ve had this thought of if everyone worked to support eachother, a lot and I mean a lot of the world’s problems involving money would be gone. Never really found someone who thought along theses lines in my life, but now I have. we have to understand that the leaders of our world from long ago till date have created us to think about us and only and us and money increases that urge to focus on just ourselves. However if we lived in a society where the main achievement of life was to work for the ones around us and not just for ourselves we would thrive much more in ways that go even just beyond work. Because if we lived in this reality now we have a state of mind that says you need me as much as I need you. but sadly the human race is to self centered
Honestly this is what I realised about this world when I was a teenager but everyone thinks I'm mad or selfish for "not wanting to work", whenever I tell people this. This whole world centered around useless 'work' is a joke.

You have given me a better perspective of how to navigate the 21st century especially as an entrepreneur. I believe what have shared if applied will bring a really positive impact but that's only possible in a world where THE LOVE OF MONEY, GREED and PRIDE doesn't exist. As long as these exist Humans will use technology against themselves instead of using it for their good. Take an example that if CEOs, Executives and Managers get what you are saying, then we will have some of the most wealthy communities in the world in the coming years. But the problem is that most of those CEOs, execs and managers see technology as a way to get rid of employees so that they can generate more money for themselves and their family. Personally i pose this as a challenge to myself and all my upcoming endeavours in business and investing to have a better look of things and not allowing myself to fall in the trap of Loving money, Being Greedy or being Prideful so that i can see people, technology, the resources and everyother thing the right way.
Not sure if you'll read this 11 year later but, the problem stems from the fact most of the workers who can be replaced by technology, is not likely to be able to create value otherwise.
They don't need to create value, they are born and they should be provided by society without them bein has to create something. They should create value if they want to.
Wow, you are the first person I've heard that agrees with my views of the world. Very well said and it helped me see things in a totally new way. If you could figure out a way to create these technologies you mention or sell the idea to some inventor you could make shit loads of money.
But if he makes a "shit load of money"... wouldn't he just end up being the evil capitalist... shouldn't his Workers be making the "shit load of money".... I mean he has the ideas, but without the Workers implementing the idea, he's nothing. I mean he would be no better than Elon Musk or Jeff Bezos then.
He's trying to play God and say, everyone will be provided and have a job to provide for each other and get paid. Wait how are they getting paid? That means there's a Boss, meaning someone get paid more than them, meaning there is a power of position, meaning that person can sit there and make more money while he shits on other people. Oh right, he forgot about that, he forgot about reality. There's such an easy way to test his theory out, just create a game and see if it works.
Unemployment crisis doesn’t mean all labor shortages are resolved. Sometimes skill demand doesn’t match skill supply. There’s a shortage of doctors and nurses that won’t naturally resolve itself, for example.
Dude, you are just pure genius. The way your brain has taken the world in is just different. Your conclusions are so simple and effective it’s unreal… After years this video still sits true 🙏
I agree--the jobs of today are NOT the jobs of yesterday or yesterdecade. The problem isn't we have an unemployment crisis as we have a knowledge crisis. You are correct that many jobs that were "necessary" a decade or so ago have been taken over by machines or technology. But we STILL need people to service/maintain/develop that technology. We already DO have tags on things so people can self checkout. The store where I shop has reduced their checkout personnel from 4 per day to six--mostly to be sure people are indeed checking things out (and not just walking out with them--sorry, there are those who believe that they can just take whatever they want) and to make sure things run smoothly. So cutting back on the numbers of people who need to be employed in such a situation can be reduced. That is true. BUT who puts the groceries on the shelves or grows or makes the products or gets them to the market? We still need employed people to do that. When I was your age, there was a hue and cry about the phone system going to self-dialing systems--and no longer needing operators. And yet we still need someone to maintain even those systems. It was just a matter of retraining people to deal with that new technology--and now we have even MORE people employed because of it. When your cable quits or the Internet collapses, who will take care of that if we don't have people knowledgeable--and working--to tend to that? I can also tell you that we do NOT work nearly as many hours today as we used to--and yet we earn more money and have more recreational time than ever before. And one thing that I have definitely learned in my lifetime (and psychology has proven) is that people WANT to be productive and feel like they are doing SOMEthing for the benefit of mankind--even if it's digging a well or ditch or building a road or finding a cure for a pandemic.
They just improve the tech/system and won't need more ppl + checkout incl extra staffs have less workload. Phones do alot more than years ago and more scale, so it makes sense incl ppl making apps. Also, not enough research or funding or implementation going into labour displacing tech, so more ppl. Yes, ppl would want to do sth but ppl hate their "jobs" too. The goal is to have our needs met and we'll still work coz we love it. Also, even if we're stuck with less technology, workers not receiving profit (or less working time) is slavery. Also, other types of workers have it hard and they're still needful in our society... Imagine they all quit, imagine no janitors, imagine everybody that hate their job quit. You're lucky, other ppl aren't. Cheers.

Yup true
They showed when they put a group of Asperger people together they communicate better and on a higher level then regular people, and funnily enough if you put a "normal" person into the group they have many of the communication problems that the the Aspergers people are generally know as having. If the ratio's of Aspergers to normal people were reversed, Aspergers people would be "normal" and would on average actually be better at communicating with other, "normal" aspergers people. And given the character traits people with Asperger generally express I wouldn't be surprised if the world was much better off.

Erik Fok that logic doesnt make sense. The word insane is built upon the fact that someone thinks in a way not natural to other people. It isnt possible for the majority of people to be insane even if our ideals are dumb, if everyones ideas were dumb then the person with smarter ideas would be considered insane.
Honestly, you can tell that this guy is truly intelligent. I'm sure he has no commerce background but explained the concept of a defferred expenditure perfectly with his grocery store example. Generally when people come up with their own ideas you'd find a lot of logical gaps but with him.. when you look at things from his perspective i.e from the perspective of an idealist you'd understand that his logic is flawless. Hope he comes back.

His logic was not flawless, He's saying EVERYONE will provide for each other, that means, EVERYONE WILL HAVE A JOB. While saying so many jobs are pointless and we should just eliminate them.

@@shinobieuc you didn’t read the title did you
One of the flaws I have a problem with is the innovative aspect. I understand that this guy thinks that innovations like the newest phone are more harm than good (I can partially agree with that), but innovations in the medical field are very beneficial for people. And while some innovations will still be made with this reduced hours/covering basic needs idea, it would be severely slowed down. People won't have an economical incentive to innovate because in this "perfect society" he described, there's a lot more focus on enjoying life rather than working for a nicer life. The reason I believe people will still innovate though is the fact that some people love what they do and they love a good puzzle. However, I believe that even with these natural innovators, we'd still fall behind in the health field and we'll see a significant decrease in life expectancy.
However, I do respect his idea, it's just unrealistic... and it would almost certainly require several communist-inspired laws to get to that point. The only feasible way I could see it not requiring such laws is if like a hundred million workers around the US refuse to work unless companies agree to shorten hours and invest immensely into technology... but that would probably crash the economy due to the amount of businesses that would have to shutdown.

Minimalistic lifestyle!!
Some people dont need wealth or recognition.
So basically because nobody needs to work since technology has taken over all of the jobs, we would all be free to have what ever hobby we wanted. The only "job" that would be absolutely necessary would be having technicians around to fix machines when they are unable to fix themselves. Of course, those people wouldnt need pay either because theyre real geeks and enjoy that sort of thing. You would also want human therapists. Cool.
So that means it would no longer be money that was the motive, or a fear of poverty. It would be rushing to make sure that nothing in the system falls out of place and a fear of having to take the place of robots and restart the old economy.
I would definitely make a movie on this topic. Human nature is really fascinating when it comes to things like these. As of right now, it has prevented the economy from becoming this developed.

What a brilliant concept! Never thought about it like that! You are absolutely right! I see people working extra jobs even when they don't need to just to afford things they don't need to. When they get a raise of a better paying job, they go and buy bigger house, new car, and start spending extra. Now instead of working less and enjoying their free time more they feel the need to work more just to afford things they didn't need in the first place. It is kind like unemployment crisis

The problem with companies introducing these types of systems, reducing hours, paying more is that the company has to be willing to lose money for it. While there is no net loss (besides the initial cost) when comparing the earnings before to after automation has been introduced, we all know that companies would see wage adjustments as a loss and thus wouldn't go forward with them if it makes more sense monetarily to cut jobs/stagnate wages to increase their overall profit. Companies don't care about morals, they care about the bottom line, and making any less money then what they could potentially earn is seen as a problem to them.
Another thing to note is inflation, simply raising everyone's pay just drives down the value of a dollar. If the top 0.1 Percent we're to just randomly use all their money they would completely crash the U.S. economy. Not saying that greed isn't a factor though, just we're not really sure how an "economy" like this could survive.
Not true, companies only make money because their employees work, they rack in way more then is needed why employees constantly struggle and when struggle is to much they replace em like robots meant for their benefit alone
It's greed period
The strong should care for the weak and help support their growth cause your only as strong as your weakest link, equality, instead they seem themselves as superior and selfishness and greed consume them along with apathy wich is every sign your serving Satan instead of god...it's a lack of empathy and selfish greed that allows poverty to exist...period and a fact
good point. microeconomists and business analysts would reasonably see no reason to take an action that will reduce their net profit. At the end of the day, every socioeconomic ideology has intrinsic drawbacks; for capitalism, it's an emphasis on profit which oftentimes comes at the expense of the rights of the working class. Justice frequently becomes a subordinate priority, especially in a society where healthcare is commodified.
To be honest, as a human we have terrible wants and essential needs. Our wants are to dominate over each other which means we would never have a society where anyone would be happy.
@@oku12 I won’t fight you for having an opinion, buuuuuut if you were to count what political leaders and people with any real power do, it’s no wonder why people still live in poverty in certain parts of the world.

The more I think about intelligence the more I realize that intelligence humanity has is really just a burden for most of the people. They just work in their nine to five jobs, get home, dont do anything productive or anything that will help them progress either physically or mentally and just do this till they are old enough to retire. Most people do not realize how much of a potential humanity has. Of course few people used this in their advantage and thats why there are such a few people with much more property or money than 99% of people has. People need to understand that there is no need to fight eachother, we are intelligent enough ( in theory ) to make such a utopian living, but materialism overall just cant let it through. You have so many business guides, tutorials and what not from most successful of people, but you dont see most of the people getting further. How is that possible? Thats just natural selection at its finest. That is advantage and at the same time disadvantage of current regime, capitalism. You just have to work hard and have some luck to get to a point, where you dont really need to progress so live a happy live. But dont think of me as an anti-capitalist. I think most of the regimes ( of course not counting the extreme ones ) has pros and cons, and humanity has quiet an experience with so many types of regimes, but its only on us, to select the best and get rid off the worst of these regimes, and get to a level, where everyone is happy, where there is utopia.
Never say never. Having a system that brings out the worst in humanity doesn't make sense either.
I don't want to dominate over people. where did you get that?
Greed will steal away these bright futures because we as a society place value into the wrong things.
Hope your intelligence did not draw in the attentions of those too greedy for their own good.
The world needs people like you in their place and they fear it.
For the grocery store analogy, it is about greed. Reducing hours and increasing pay means less money for the chain, therefore they don'y do that, and end up just firing the extra people and averaging out the workload over less people. So, those few people simply get a raise, and the rest- whoops, now unemployed. That stacks up exponentially over every store in the world and we DO end up having an unemployment crisis. I get your drift, and your lobby is very logical, but the greed of business owners makes this plan inconceivable to me.
See, that's the real issue. IF they were better at being greedy, they would know how much it would actually be beneficial for THEM by setting people free from this infinitesimally miserable work paradigm.
Strictly from a philosophical point of view, analyzing the whole of society with a small community will never work. Additionally, this very conundrum is they key reason why the most intelligent and well-rounded individuals "converted" to communism in the 20th century.
xkcdHatGuy At one point my local store DID replace all of the cashiers with machines and profit went down significantly. The had to convert back to human cashiers as many people prefer to talk to other people, and were beginning to go to the other grocery store instead.
Todd Standard
I suspect the real reason is that many people (especially older people) are scared of technology and also scared of change.
It isnt necessarily about greed. Thats a silly word in of itself and is essentially just politicized. Its not "greed" of business owners, its a system where business owners see no other choice but to lower wages or fire people because maintaining a business in this system is too costly to have that many workers. Not all businesses are good but not all are greedy either.

The only problem is, businesses would see this as a way to cut the amount they have to pay out to employees. So they would end up cutting people's hours and NOT increasing their pay to match, for the company to increase profits even more.
The problem is the greed of the company in the first place. They aren't focused on making sure their employees are making enough to live on.

After laying out and articulating his point, he laughs at man’s stupidity at 7:50 😀
This theory is assuming that the leaders/CEOs are free of greed. It would definitely work if that were the case. However, making the same amount of money while not requiring as much labor/resources to the company, means more profit, and they will keep it that way. The job crisis is caused by this exact concept. Everyone wants more money, and they don't care that their minimum-wage workers are struggling. McDonald's could definitely afford to pay their workers a lot more, but to maximize profit, they pay them as absolute little as they legally can. I really wish the world didn't work this way, but it's just how it is.
They are doing this in Switzerland. Basic income for everyone to survive. Then they can pursue whatever career they chose to make more money.
+Pierre Bonhomme reason to move to switzerland?
No. He's talking about a resource based economy, which is a silly idea. Switzerland is just doing that because they have a huge amount of mechanization in he workplace in proportion to its population.
+Brendan "100%" Schaub Did you just call a resource based economy.. "silly".. LOL Some people love dwelling in capitalism.
+Pierre Bonhomme If you are refering to the idea of the unconditional basic income, let me tell you: We are definitely not doing that in Switzerland! I don't where you've read this, but it has not even been seriously discussed. There was a vote in the parliament about it but about 90% declined the idea. And as far as I know, the swiss people think similarly
Finland not Switzerland
"We need more work!" - everyone on Facebook.
"We need more food." - everyone everywhere else.
***** but that shouldn't be the case, that's what this guy is getting at. It's the norm to think that but if you think a way around working, thus developing a method in which everyone can get what they need without doing useless labor via technology.
+ΕΝΤΕΡ ΨΘΥΡ ΝΛΜΣ how about growing it

"How about growing it?"
Taxation, so there's literally no way of evading the system....
I’ve been going through this guys channel for about two hours now and I say that this video very strongly stands out to me because I’ve had this thought of if everyone worked to support eachother, a lot and I mean a lot of the world’s problems involving money would be gone. Never really found someone who thought along theses lines in my life, but now I have. we have to understand that the leaders of our world from long ago till date have created us to think about us and only and us and money increases that urge to focus on just ourselves. However if we lived in a society where the main achievement of life was to work for the ones around us and not just for ourselves we would thrive much more in ways that go even just beyond work. Because if we lived in this reality now we have a state of mind that says you need me as much as I need you. but sadly the human race is to self centered
Hes just sugar coating communism
The way he speaks is like Elon musk, slow to speak because he thinks about what he’s about to say.
hat guy is speaking and thinking at the same time. whatever he says he is currently thinking about it
I end up watching one of these videos like once every 2 years and having an existential Crisis
Its been 1 year
This sounds like resourced based economics and futurism. Interesting, does anyone know where or what this guy is doing now?
alright then......
I have the same question...
i tried to invite him to a group of like minded people but he ignored me :/
+Questioneverything Maybe he got assassinated because he knew too much
+Questioneverything he has his own podcast. I'm trying to find the name of it.
Honestly this is what I realised about this world when I was a teenager but everyone thinks I'm mad or selfish for "not wanting to work", whenever I tell people this.
This whole world centered around useless 'work' is a joke.
Well you’ve gotta work, if you don’t you become lazy and can’t do anything.
This man was talking about the fourth industrial revolution in 2013. Absolutely brilliant guy
LSD is still alive !
sandspar ye
How did u find out???? Kinda late but oh well. I remember watching his video about 4 dimensions like 4 years ago. And somehow i stumbled upon him again. So i was wondering.
sandspar gimme some

He's back... And he's even hotter!! Ahh 😵🤓🤠🖤🔥
Thinking like a global Elite. Yes the store would pocket the profit, people are greedy.
If you speed up his voice 1.25x he sounds like a robot
I-
WTFFFFFF
That’s incredibly eerie
This guy is like real life L
Yes dude..like seriously. . But hes adult version look different..i'm having problem believing that it is really him.
@@zulfiqaradam3850 Lol. That's the version after the government messed with him.
Exactly what I was thinking
Bruh
@@olamideolanrewaju4005 i tend to agree
How'd you manage to grow that sweet science hair/colour ??!!
i think the color of his hair is ash brown
Stress lol
I'm so high and this is really speaking to me
I wish society was more like you
This dude was just describing socialism. epic.
Once automation becomes more common we'll probably have to turn to socialism
@@maxman1071 The only issue is that there needs to be jobs to regulate that technology, transport that technology, invent and build that technology, mass distribute that technology, etc.
This video is very basal thinking
Economy and distrbution is nuanced and people tend to think very simply when it comes to it.
So basically everything said here was flawed because his premise was based on a face value argument.
@@xavgmng he mentioned it, that you’d still need people to advance the tech and distribute it and look after it
@@Gojkira Look at the successes of el tigre supermarket and zanon ceramics as well as collectively owned workplaces like mondragon and gore associates. There is no reason not to cut out the middle men of landlords, business owners and others that leech off of the products of our labor.
Nobody:
Me when someone calls me unemployed:
wow thats so awesome!
You are so fresh thinking, you inspired me.
Thank you so much!
You have given me a better perspective of how to navigate the 21st century especially as an entrepreneur.
I believe what have shared if applied will bring a really positive impact but that's only possible in a world where THE LOVE OF MONEY, GREED and PRIDE doesn't exist.
As long as these exist Humans will use technology against themselves instead of using it for their good.
Take an example that if CEOs, Executives and Managers get what you are saying, then we will have some of the most wealthy communities in the world in the coming years.
But the problem is that most of those CEOs, execs and managers see technology as a way to get rid of employees so that they can generate more money for themselves and their family.
Personally i pose this as a challenge to myself and all my upcoming endeavours in business and investing to have a better look of things and not allowing myself to fall in the trap of Loving money, Being Greedy or being Prideful so that i can see people, technology, the resources and everyother thing the right way.
Not sure if you'll read this 11 year later but, the problem stems from the fact most of the workers who can be replaced by technology, is not likely to be able to create value otherwise.
Exactly.
They don't need to create value, they are born and they should be provided by society without them bein has to create something. They should create value if they want to.
Wow, you are the first person I've heard that agrees with my views of the world. Very well said and it helped me see things in a totally new way. If you could figure out a way to create these technologies you mention or sell the idea to some inventor you could make shit loads of money.
But if he makes a "shit load of money"... wouldn't he just end up being the evil capitalist... shouldn't his Workers be making the "shit load of money".... I mean he has the ideas, but without the Workers implementing the idea, he's nothing. I mean he would be no better than Elon Musk or Jeff Bezos then.
He's trying to play God and say, everyone will be provided and have a job to provide for each other and get paid. Wait how are they getting paid? That means there's a Boss, meaning someone get paid more than them, meaning there is a power of position, meaning that person can sit there and make more money while he shits on other people. Oh right, he forgot about that, he forgot about reality. There's such an easy way to test his theory out, just create a game and see if it works.
Its literally what he's against "shit loads of money" lol
Someone make sure they backup these vids. They will surely be removed once the corporations that run us find out someone is doing some deep thinking.
@@FrozenMermaid666 why do you have 3k followers with no videos?.... Sketchy
bro he literally basically predicted amazons grocery stores
Unemployment crisis doesn’t mean all labor shortages are resolved. Sometimes skill demand doesn’t match skill supply. There’s a shortage of doctors and nurses that won’t naturally resolve itself, for example.
this is what post nut clarity does to a man
We are held back by mental barriers not physical barriers
Dude, you are just pure genius. The way your brain has taken the world in is just different. Your conclusions are so simple and effective it’s unreal… After years this video still sits true 🙏
He’s the guy that can correct the teacher
I agree--the jobs of today are NOT the jobs of yesterday or yesterdecade. The problem isn't we have an unemployment crisis as we have a knowledge crisis. You are correct that many jobs that were "necessary" a decade or so ago have been taken over by machines or technology. But we STILL need people to service/maintain/develop that technology. We already DO have tags on things so people can self checkout. The store where I shop has reduced their checkout personnel from 4 per day to six--mostly to be sure people are indeed checking things out (and not just walking out with them--sorry, there are those who believe that they can just take whatever they want) and to make sure things run smoothly. So cutting back on the numbers of people who need to be employed in such a situation can be reduced. That is true. BUT who puts the groceries on the shelves or grows or makes the products or gets them to the market? We still need employed people to do that. When I was your age, there was a hue and cry about the phone system going to self-dialing systems--and no longer needing operators. And yet we still need someone to maintain even those systems. It was just a matter of retraining people to deal with that new technology--and now we have even MORE people employed because of it. When your cable quits or the Internet collapses, who will take care of that if we don't have people knowledgeable--and working--to tend to that? I can also tell you that we do NOT work nearly as many hours today as we used to--and yet we earn more money and have more recreational time than ever before. And one thing that I have definitely learned in my lifetime (and psychology has proven) is that people WANT to be productive and feel like they are doing SOMEthing for the benefit of mankind--even if it's digging a well or ditch or building a road or finding a cure for a pandemic.
They just improve the tech/system and won't need more ppl + checkout incl extra staffs have less workload. Phones do alot more than years ago and more scale, so it makes sense incl ppl making apps. Also, not enough research or funding or implementation going into labour displacing tech, so more ppl. Yes, ppl would want to do sth but ppl hate their "jobs" too. The goal is to have our needs met and we'll still work coz we love it. Also, even if we're stuck with less technology, workers not receiving profit (or less working time) is slavery. Also, other types of workers have it hard and they're still needful in our society... Imagine they all quit, imagine no janitors, imagine everybody that hate their job quit. You're lucky, other ppl aren't. Cheers.
Imagine a world where everyone is a capitalist ✨
He’s so ahead of his time, it fascinates me. I’m just now understanding this is my late teens because of people like him. I hope he’s doing all right.
He’s on a new channel now
@@leahcimmmm really? What channel?
@@defaulthand8488 Try looking up xkcdhatguy, he’ll eventually show up. He’s changed quite a bit
@@defaulthand8488 The channel has the same name as this one’s
@@leahcimmmm the guy got a gap in his teeth this guy doesn’t
He actually has a good point 🤔. If we had the grocery system he's talking about there would be more time for everything inventing, farming, gardening, everything.
