RE: The Idea Economy is coming... are you ready?
Re-steemed because AI still can not recognize an article with true human value yet. It can track how many humans have indicated that their is value in the article, but that is secondary and dependent on real humans recognizing value first.
Also, re-steemed because this is the type of info that has the potential to save lives.
Steem-on!
Thanks so much for the comments ! I do take that seriously :
These are indeed powerful themes that touch many lives. In Belgium we have seen how transitions like these can indeed wreck lives. Where l grew up they closed the coal mines in the '80s and there were whole parts of the population left sitting idle. In some parts there is generational unemployment, whole communities which are largely unproductive till this day.
I highly respect techno optimists like Diamandis & co for pointing out the upside which no doubt can be good, but it always bothered me that they gloss over the upheaval and turmoil the transition can create. I'd like to explore here on Steemit what we can DO and which lessons we can share with people who are willing to adapt.
