Automation and Abundance

TVP Magazine - issue #7

My own conclusion about this issue:  Thanks to science and technology, we have already evolved into an emergent society, whereby change will continue to occur more rapidly.  (In less than a generation we have gone from 3D printing to 4D.)  Unfortunately we are still running things according to a primitive, established society, using systems, tools, and traditions from thousands of years ago as if they were still relevant.  To the extent we do not adapt to this increasing change by constantly learning about new developments, we stagnate, suffer, and die in a state of ignorance, obsolescence, and slavery to the past.  No less than the fate of our species and planet are at stake.
