Report Card for Donald Trump

Warren Dew Wrote:There's human creativity tied up in the design of every product, because the end users are humans.  There's also plenty of creativity in creating the software infrastructure for virtual products and services.  We may not all be able to be artists, but we all have some degree of useful creativity and mental flexibility that software doesn't yet have.  And that's aside from the fact that you're being overly optimistic regarding complete replacement of human operators and maintenance.

Let's just say that this is highly unlikely, and leave it at that. What you are suggesting is a wholesale transformation of humanity. Many social conservatives will not adapt, even though they can, because they are wired to seek continuity. Just this group alone will present decades of challenges, and these people will not "conform" without a fight.

Most people are not mentally equipped to be self directed. What does leadership mean in a society with no real structure?

There will still be a need for human labor.  Even if CEOs and engineers were the only ones making money from manufacturing, they could consume plenty of services if they had the money to pay for it.

Under that model, the rest of humanity begs on street corners. And, of course, no one rebels.
