I figured this very same thing out by myself, about thirty years ago. I completely agree with this speaker. This is a logical way of thinking, but problem is that most of the people just doesn't understand, nor do they care when you start to talk about this kind of ideas. They need proof that it can work. GOOD LUCK!
I resent his "I know more than you tone." I knew this too in 994 when I was first exposed computers, I was 17. Many other people have known this from earlier (See star trek and star wars creators and almost any kind of sci-fi writer) I lost an accounts payable job to a software bot in 1998, and made a joke of it since it was ironic my degree was in Management Info Systems, which deals with aims to proving workplace processes thru the application of tech
George Galamb ... Oh, it will! And thank the heavens for the technology. An "excellent" improvement for disgruntled poorly servicing humans.
We are with you brother:)) I have thought of this long long time ago also by myself:))) God prompts:)))
true. most people are no as smart as you.
"Compulsory work for the sake of survival is an obstacle that prevents us from achieving these goals"
Woo! Universal Basic Income, all the way!
That is helpful but understand that corporates control politics so they would not want to get tax more or help people. We need a resource-based economy. I am not sure exactly how we are going to get there.
*****
A universal Basic income is one alternative for a transitional period to RBE... but a universal basic income is already being seriously considered as an idea in Switzerland and a referendum on it will be held I think in 2016 (cannot be sure on the exact date).
In UK, the existing benefits system would have to undergo a relatively minor alteration to create the UBI.
Other countries that have a version of the welfare system could also pull it off, as well as those that don't.
Reality of the situation is that once the idea starts rolling in one country, it will be impossible to stop it...

Less people
Maybe
I have thought this for a long time and couldn't agree more. Wonderful talk!
I don't think he is talking about a Utopia, it sounds more along the lines of necessary evolution similar to what discovering fire did in changes to the human race including the size and intelligence of the human brain. It also freed up time for creative thought and development that took us to where we are today. We, as a species are outstripping the planets ability to sustain us, change is the next step, but what change?
first half of the talk is quite good. second half should have been stolen by a robot.
j okal Well, hopefully that's the case - but if the ultra-rich are really determined, they could potentially acquire an unlimited robot army to do their bidding and suppress any resistance the masses may mount against them. Such an army will merely carry out any given instructions and have 0 moral hangups about terminating their fellow humans or countrymen as human soldier may have.
***** He is another bloody leftist who does not understand what the heck he is talking about. The message is he sends is an out and out political message having little to do with automation. But he will deny it and say it is a TECHNOLOGY talk.
+Pasu suel As soon as we build a robot that can upgrade itself, or build a better version of itself we have past the torch whatever will that robot develops will be what happens we will be powerless to stop it, anyway you program it will override our programing eventually
Pasu suel The greatest weapon is ofcourse intelligence. I would imagine if an Ai is one trillion times as smart as us in evreything AI on similar would think similarly. And if one decided to wipe out humanity the rest would probaly agree. They would probably wipe us out with out us even knowing whats happening before its too late.
Tis Toni THIS COMMENT 😂😂😂😂😂😂
Goosebumps! I've been thinking about this for the past 16 years.... Buy you were able to put it out clearly and smoothly. Thanks buddy
It's inaccurate that we gave up slavery. It's accurate that we pushed outside of lawful conduct. It's more pervasive now than at any time in history.
+gespilk Perhaps Basic Income will do something to change your expectation of "job" making your existence meaningful.
+Earth Worm
Which corporation do you assume will allow you a basic income?
Basic income would come from your Government.
Government is run by taxpayers' money. Without money there is no government.
True freedom is the ability to say "no" to anything without consequence, including any job. Try doing that and you'll end up homeless or in jail from debt. That's not freedom.
You're the best Federico!!! Thank you Brother!
Very good information and delivery. Thanks for this , Pistono!
The fact no one raise their hand for any of those blue-collar jobs is really stunning. I really like these Ted talks but it seems a lot of the people who go to them or who are in the comment section our academic snobs
That's because you have an inferiority complex and are projecting it onto others. You are not better than they are because you believe in the myth of class integration. Classism is real and has always been around, do you think your frustration will change it? I hear predjudice in your writing.
+Fish King Yes. This type of crowd lives in their own bubble. They think they are so progressive and they are always sniffing prejudice in other people.
Yet they only know people of their own class.
"Les savants ridicules" as Moliere called them
That doesn't make the point he's making any less valid. I don't know any bin men, but if I say 2+2 = 4 it's still true.
Maybe blame the blue collars for not attending?
Thank you so much.
Maybe is the background, the words of so many thinkers of so many ages, but i think this is the most brilliant talk i will ever listen to. Thank you very, very much!
I think what his really trying to say is that everyone should focus more on living, which in its sense is very utopian as Survival is a part of our existence that cannot be neglected or overlooked.

Phew!! It's good to have you here to save us from believing the notions that we might achieve something better for children and grandchildren. Now I know I can just sit back and give up without having wasted a lot of energy on this.
Thanks Frederico! Some other great sources of info on this topic of Technological Unemployment are "The End of Work" by Jeremy Rifkin. "The Lights in the Tunnel" by Martin Ford. "The Race Against the Machine" by Andrew McAffee. And my favorite documentary "Zeitgeist Moving Forward"
Great way of thinking, great speach.
Wow, I would love to see him on TED. My vote is with this guy!
no , it's not ok that a robot takes my job. I love my job ,it's my passion. it''s not something that I want to avoid.

What is your job?
Absolutely wonderful. I wish to see this on the main TED channel one day.
BRILLIANT! Exactly my perspective of a "BRILLIANT" future for human kind as I watch, learn and experience the fast growing of technology and AI. One just need to fill that Half empty Glass (uncertainty) with positivity and optimism. Negativity enslave the mind, blind one's vision, dull one's senses.! Thank you for your time, your vision and a beautiful presentation.
SubjectDelta9 Andrew Yang 2020 he’s running for UBI
I love this thought!
Favorite TEDtalk yet!
Well done Federico! It is clear that this talk really blends your book with what you learned at SU.
i totaly agree: we don't need to work in the way we work today... Let's just work 2, 3 hours a day, not more....
I love Fedrico's style. He has a great way of talking to people who would normally be afraid of the topic. It would restore my faith in TED if he got to speak on it.
Thank you for bringing us this knowledge when your job is not at stake.
I just wanna live in Star Trek
+qeebo that's the point? They do it because they like it and that's the lifestyle they want to live. When no one is suffering and all the jobs are taken by robots, you get bored. So people can pursue what they truly love. Doctor work won't be as rigorous and people will learn those things for knowledge and the quality of work done increases because people genuinely care about what they do.
+qeebo well Sisko deserves some credit for kind of almost having a family life.
"Just reality shows that idle people become lazy" How they become idle? What is idle to you? What is lazy? What is a waste of time? Can lazy people not be idle? can idle people not be lazy? I see more than a few holes in your argument, for such short argument to have that many questionable things its an indication of an idea that lacks development. It could be right, just need to answer the question that it brings before that.
Koneko to
if you need an example on stuff created and not getting paid , wikipedia !
Well said Federico and well done with what you have achieved. I've hung on to the original mission statement that TZM was established on and I recall thanking you for your input on the day that you left the original forum. You made sense and what I thought the movement was about and not superstition and anarchy which was the reality I faced.
Respect and full support.
Best regards Jonathan
Outstanding presentation.This is vital knowledge, and the delivery is class
Well done, Federico. Keep fighting for humanity.
Ever since I was a kid, I was always thinking about how and why things are as they are in this society. Humans are greedy, we constantly seek profit and growth to satisfy our endless needs. We contribute to society in a way that doesn't necessarily suit us and we don't think far.
After multiple reflections, I ended up with the same conclusion as Federico and other thinkers.
However, in the case of income, we technically don't need money if we can do things ourselves and do barter.
If we can decrease our consumption needs, reduce our costs and be more self-sufficient, basic and vital needs like physiological needs would be fulfilled. Of course, this transition can be made by learning new skills and by changing our mindset.
Robots should not be used for mass production but as facilitators, as humans' companions that permit to take care of the most dangerous, time-consuming, technical jobs and make life easier.
That moment when he picked up the book and the letter "i" wobbled. My gosh the SUSPENSE!
great speech federico! i loved your 'radical idea'!
fantastic Federico!
Very nice :)
I will try to purchase the book then...
Brilliant!
Loved the comparison between giving up our dearly held beliefs about work, to previously giving up the beliefs about slavery... could that also be a metaphor?
love this talk
Federico Pistono for president ! ! ! !
Good job, Federico!
Great presentation that I recommend all inhabits of planet Earth should watch!!
This is the most relevant video EVER!!!
Dear Federico has forgotten the main ingredient for massive social change: Hunger. That's gonna come too, all too soon for too many people.
Why? Robots will enable us to have a massive production, including food.
especially with vertical farms.
I think he meant hunger for change, not hunger for food.
thomas rushton like a change in thinking, ie farms don't need to be acres of land, and robots can run stuff.:D LIKE VERTICAL FARMS!1!!1 :D
Vertical Farms, Underground Farms, Indoor Farms, Solar Farms, Mass Production Farms by Automation, Genetic Food Production. I can keep going! Hunger isn't a problem.
excelente necesitamos subtitulo!!!
Excellent man..!!!! I am on to your side Federico :-)
From the website:
"Most certainly! I believe information should be free, hence the book is released under a Creative Commons Attribution-NonCommercial-ShareAlike 3.0. I spent a year working on this book almost full time, so for the first few months only a paid version will be available. Later on in 2013, I will release a free PDF for anyone to share freely."
So the answer is: Yes. It does.
This is really nice , it relates to every one in 2K18
brilliant!
Dat Fight Club quote
Federico Pistono for world government leader!
Way to go Frederico!
good idea but before you quit your job make sure you can live off the grid. make sure you have an energy source like solar, wind or anything else that might work for you and also make sure you have a garden/farm that will produce enough food all year round. in other words be self-sufficient/sustainable. all this involves lots of learning (in case you haven't already) and preparation but you will find it will make a happier living ;)
Good to know.
Love it Fede! Happy birthday to all of us - now lets go invent and create ;)
Well done bro
Omg, it's so painfully obvious! Incredible talk Fed! Fed @ Ted... that should be a campaign.
For an Italian guy he speaks very good English. Good talk.
Basic Income--- we need it badly already yesterday!!!!
This guy is awesome
Very good video.
Hahaha, great plan Federico! That destroys the government since they feed of income taxes and since no one is working, that destroys corporations who want us to buy buy buy, but we can't because we are not earning a living. Great way to finally destroy state and corporate power. You slay me Federico.
yes!!
No, minimum wage doesn't cut it so we outsourced. Some things we didn't want to outsource like ammunition, military gear, helmets, camouflage, etc., so we use private prisons to hire employees at far below minimum wage to produce most of it.
Nice reference for the title
Rock on Federico!
I think this change is coming , otherwise, things will collapse. I hope we can see the need and make the change.
I totally agree with the speaker
Dishon Fano Andrew Yang 2020 he’s running for UBI Google Andrew Yang H3 podcast or joe Rogan Andrew Yang
Very inspireing. And it states the obvious truth of our current destiny.
However he fail to adresse why we are on this counter intuitive and self destructive path.
It is because of our intrincic behaviour. The old animal parts of our psichy. And our own rationality is not strong enough to prevail (hence the obisity crisys). A vision, no matter how compelling, is not enough
brilliant
Outstand Speech!
He never gave any concrete solutions- just sold a dream
I totally agree. I'm so glad dudes like this exist.
good performance, Federico!
cant upvote this one enough!!!!
niceeee!
HEY THERES A FIGHT CLUB QUOTE.
+Koneko yes, it was a very dumb thing to say
+Emanuel Alejandro Blanco It wasn't a great thing to say and a few of his jokes felt lame and unnecessary.
But his point is good and his passion for it real.
Koneko a man talking to idiot ted audiences doesn't have to quote well known things. Just pass them off as his own and get laid
Great speech! I`m just a young man like you and I`ll try to make the world better, for a non-competivive world, a cooperative world, where machines are just tools to spare time for us.
By the way Civilisation is a Z "Civilization" ; P
Be fine Federico Pistono and keep that dream alive, be proud of him.
Yes, every human being is a valuable masterpiece. Human culture needs to embrace a future, where science & technology is at the service of humanity & in harmony with nature. The Future is Beautiful ! The Future is Now !
We keep on talking about it for years, but what we want is a solution and seem like we didn't have it yet.
We have the technology. We just have to implement it. Solar and wind could be used (without needing to store the power) if we network the power grid globally. What is stopping us is the need for competing companies to make a profit. (I mean you just can't share - how would that look?) Unless that obstacle can be overcome, Geo-thermal seems to be the best possible option that everyone loves to ignore (probably because power would become to cheap for anyone to make any money from it).
Check out Open Source Ecology. They've got a plot of land in Missouri and they're working to create the 50 basic machines that you need to make a self-sustaining community with modern comforts. It's called the Global Village Construction Set.
You are the súper King 💪👍
thumbs up for the shirt!
11:14 writes a book = sales = earning a living.
+togethia I applaud Federico if he is actually earning a living from writing a book, I have published five books and so far I would be homeless if I had to live off the modest income from them.
Except the book is free
VENUS PROJECT anyone.. I wonder if this guy did spend some time with the projects director Jacque Fresco?
Jacques vision "The Venus Project" and the implementation of a Resource Based Economy is the most feasible alternative to our current broken socioeconomic system.
For anyone interested please check out "The Venus Projects" TH-cam channel for some wonderfully insightful perspectives.
Resources aren't all limited the trick is distributing these resources fairly.
This should have been a TED talk
WOW!
There are some jobs that won't get stolen by any robots any time soon. Science, engineering, health care... but it's true that nobody needs a job. All we need are food, shelter, water, electricity, clothing, basic services - the real reason why we need jobs is that this world is ruled by private property. The means of production are in the hands of a few private companies. That's something we must change.
What we need is for groups to start forming these open source, DIY, technology societies on plots of land like hippies did in the 60s but with technology. Prove it. I think it can work personally but it will take a lot of doing to start off then the models can be copied again and again.
Words like "job" and "job market" belong to the industrial age.
They will be anachronisms in the post-industrial age.
well they are very similar - but fedrico has been saying similar things for years - he was one of the earliest organizers of the zeitgeist movement - the subtitle - how to survive it - is equally important -and the zeitgeist movement has been saying what has to happen to avoid disaster - and that is a resorce based economy - have you seen zeitgeist moving forward yet - frederico advocates the ideas there
Singularity University is a non-profit learning institution in Silicon Valley whose stated aim is to "educate, inspire and empower leaders to apply exponential technologies to address humanity’s grand challenges
The problem is, people are greedy. They will not be satisfied with a basic guaranteed income. This will be compounded when low IQ people are faced with boredom. As the saying goes, "Idle hands are the devil's playground." I don't see this ending well.
But we must make the best of it.
This is actually genius!!
Is it me or TEDx has better speakers than normal TED?
I used to be bored once I was forced into retirement. Now I'm liberty training my horse.
But my purpose (what i was thinking before I was told I need to earn a living) was what I want to do to earn a living. I love it!
Thanks to exponential advances in technology, all jobs will soon be obsolete. He advocates we use this technology to create an abundance while evolving out of this capatilistic value system. Once all of their needs are met, people who truely enjoy designing and creating will continue do so without a monetary incentive. Money would be obsolete. I recommend you watch Zeitgeist: Moving Forward and Paradise or Oblivion, to help you further understand this train of thought.
