Freedomain Posted January 31, 2018 Posted January 31, 2018 Question 1: [1:42] – “I’ve watched some of your videos on automation and Universal Basic Income. You did not mention the critical component that robots can think and learn. Unlike the shifts in the job market from the past that were based on physical skill (i.e. systematic routines done by humans) robots will eventually be able to take jobs that require human level thought. Despite my libertarian ideology, it concerns me that in the future there may come a time where the majority of jobs, including ones that require thought, will no longer require humans. What happens when robots have higher IQs than human beings? Will humans be obsolete much like how the horse became obsolete with an increase in transportation technology? What is your take on the thinking aspect of automation? What could be a solution in a free society?”Question 2: [43:47] - “The personal development seminar community, from Les Brown, Anthony Robbins, Napoleon Hill, Dale Carnegie, Zig Zigler and Jim Rohn, espouse the ideas of personal growth, but like in EVERY industry, politics is a taboo. I was curious if you could challenge my belief that ‘Politics and Personal Development Go Hand-In-Hand’ as Capitalism requires you to believe in yourself and Socialism requires you to feel victimized?”Question 3: [2:26:20] - “I have wanted to have a comic published one day with my name on it since I was five, but I keep having these thoughts of failure that scare me back into wanting to go for a path that is stable, but boring. I'm currently in college for Computer Science, which I could do, but I doubt I will find anywhere near the pleasure of art sitting behind a desk programming. I tell myself that it is a safety net to keep me from dying if I fall from the tight rope of the art world, but there is a part of me that wants the stability a CS degree can bring. In contrast, the art world isn't stable which gets me worried that I will fail miserably and not get to accomplish my dream in life. Most of my worries have come from this fear exactly; the fear that I will die without accomplishing my dream. I start thinking about how hard it will be to get there and try to get some steps in order so I know what to do, but then the fear of failure at each step becomes an ominous cloud in my mind from which I run away, back to the comfort of stability.”Your support is essential to Freedomain Radio, which is 100% funded by viewers like you.
