Q: Curt: –“I don’t see capitalism surviving the technological singularity.”–
Capitalism didn’t survive 2008. But rule of law did and we’re in the era of restoring ‘reciprocity’ in trade – which is the difference between capitalism and rule of law.

So, the end of capitalism per say is probably not true. The industrial age has produced an absence of the hand of man and the resulting aesthetics. I suspect those of us who are arguing in favor of working for the commons rather than the private sector will shift.

In other words, more of the scope of work in exchange for income will come from various levels of government. Not exactly the depression era WPA but a little more ‘soviet’ than I think most of us might wish.

But europe pre-war was a vast open air museum. And there is no reason we won’t return to that. Otherwise, Sitting around means idle hands make ill will.
