Rise Of The Machines: Millions Of American Jobs Will Be Wiped Out In The Next Five Years

The Venus Project developed by Jacques Fresco proposed in the 1960s that technology would eventually change life on Earth as we know it. It would eliminate the need for people to toil away in meaningless jobs that are essentially busy-work, like spending ours in a mine pulling raw materials out of the Earth. It would create a Star Trek-like society where people can actually pursue their passions and help maintain civilization at the same time. But in order for this utopian world to come to fruition, we must redefine what the monetary system is and how we use it.

Presently, people who contribute almost nothing to society enjoy incredible benefits, often more than they could hope to use in a life time, while other people on Earth work their lives away in horrific conditions just to earn enough to feed themselves and their family. The current definition of ownership is not balanced by the realities of what an individual can reasonably use. When a person, family, or corporation claims ownership of something to the extent that it prevents other people from reasonably using it for their survival, despotism and monetary slavery is the result. Consider that as I type these words, the people of Flint Michigan are being forced to drink polluted water, while Nestle Corporation drains the clean water supply for corporate profit. 

Almost everywhere we look in the economic systems of this world, corporations and the ultra rich have claimed more resources than the vast majority of the population, wherein everyone on Earth has essentially become a debt-slave and surf on land owned by others. When someone claims to own more than they can reasonably use, they commit a crime against humanity, forcing their fellows to become land slaves while the landlord contributes almost nothing to society as a whole.

Clearly, without changing this little-recognized way of life and the insidious nature of absolute ownership rights, a mechanized machine world would be a dystopic hell. If we, as a people, continue to give our power away and never redefine ownership, the rich will continue to get richer, and the poor will continue to be hopelessly dependent on them. Income disparity is a symptom of oligarchy and the world that has forgotten the essential need for balance. The indigenous peoples of the world, many of which have no concept of absolute ownership or monetary systems, would never allow one person to own more than they can use—the idea of owning the Earth seems insane to them.

Jobs, to the vast majority of people, are merely a means to earn a basic living wage, becoming traps that destroy a person’s passion for life. Mechanized replacements for jobs are one way to end this nightmare, but only if the underlying problem of despotism and plutocracy are addressed. If not, the plutocrats will invent new menial and meaningless forms of labor to maintain the earn-a-living paradigm of enslavement and control. 

Amazon Go is a system that marries physical stores with advanced algorithms and sensors to eliminate the need for a typical store checkout. Instead of packing all the things you need into a basket or cart and then dragged [sic] it through a tedious checkout process, you just grab whatever you need and walk out of the store.

It sounds like a shaky concept at first, but only until you see just how advanced the technology really is. When you first walk into the store, you use your smartphone to open you virtual shopping cart. As you make your way around the store, a vast system of sensor tracks where you are, what you pick up, and what you take with you. The system even knows if you pick something up and then put it back, and will only charge you for things you actually intended to buy.

Once again competition is the driving force that will guarantee success no later than a 2022-2024 time frame. By the end of that period, if not much sooner, long-haul truck jobs will vanish.

… 

Perhaps drivers will be needed for final delivery in cities and remote locations, but the need for long-haul interstate and major state highway drivers will vanish.

…

My statement that “millions of long haul truck driving jobs will vanish in the 2022-2024 time frame” is likely way off on the low side if one counts Uber, taxi, and chauffeur driven vehicles.

Take a look at Uber’s goal once again: “replace Uber’s more than 1 million human drivers with robot drivers—as quickly as possible.”

That’s just Uber. And those jobs will vanish. All of them. What about Lyft? Taxis?

Basically, a general idleness, an aimlessness of people who could become revolutionary, who could be subjected to civil unrest… who will probably be on social welfare and benefits for the rest of their lives and have nothing else to look forward to.

That’s the direction that the people in this country are actually headed towards.

Just a week and a half after Bilderberg’s June 2016 meeting it was reported that [Silicon Valley tech startup incubator] Y-Combinator was running a basic income experiment.

Billed as the “Social Vaccine of the 21st Century,” in Oakland, California where some 100 families were chosen to receive $1000 or $2000 a month in order to collect valuable date in the pilot on how to implement, manage and scale further UBI incentives.
