These kind-hearted people were just trying to warn us
Too bad we throwed them to sidelines.
So sad.
Luddites were wrong and little bit hypocritical. Technology is in the hands of psychopathic elites seeking more power and control. Most of us would join those psychopathic elites given a chance . Simple technological freeze doesnt address the underlying root cause, it just restricts our abilities to control and dominate surrounding world and each other. And from what I know, luddites were out of their minds trying to "freeze" early industrial era into perpetuity.
I don't know but we definitely need to look into it.
Besides when people are losing their jobs GDP per capita doesn't matter that much.
Having a job for the sake of having a job, in order to accumulate certain number of "credits", in order to survive (in artificial human made environment) by doing something stupid and needless, if not destructive. Mankind must come with new solutions to that riddle. The old ways are about to hit the wall of sanity and simple survival.

Noted. Semantics. You still need to survive and maintain peace between the monkeys. Government's charter is to attain that waterline for the sake of all classes. You want basic income versus make-work? Suit yourself, I have no quarrel with either. But you can't just idle the masses and not address the social deficit. So, yeah, indignation over the "wasteful feeling" towards make-work is merely semantics.
