Haha lucky, seems like one of those "idealized situations"
If we automated everything, where does money/value come from.
I still don't completely understand how money works "it's a ledger, faith, gateway of energy" a doctor is worth more than a janitor (not arguing that)
Just when there are no skills involved, everyone's the same, would money still have a purpose.
Though I like the idea of basic income. I wouldn't mind that myself and I could remove the fear of being homeless from my mind and focus more on web development.
Scarcity seems to be the reason why anything has value.... No forget that I kind of forgot what I was going with that.
What I did want to bring up is this argument of land vs. population and energy/raw materials.
If energy is neither created or destroyed, it's just moved around, and assuming we still have the sun, if we're just using the energy from the sun through food, then as long as the sun exists, aren't we fine? Same with water. Water might be transformed but it returns. Where it would it go? There is also salt water sure you have to take energy/time to desalinate and purify it.
I just don't get that argument of resources if you have an ineexhaustable supply of energy as the sun for 5 billion years.
Also humans compared to the size of the Earth, we don't even begin to cover it as far as human size compared to land size eg. continents.
