I want to say that we do have the technology, but it is hideously expensive at the moment so we do not do it.

It is easier to send robots. It is more risky and expensive to send humans. If there is failure with humans, the political cost is huge. We will eventually send humans to Mars but the way needs to be prepared to do so.

I have had those days. Not a bad quick lunch that the kids can easily share with if they want. I am a big fan of pretzel anything.

I think there will ne hiccups as we transition from a world where you need to work to live as well. Hopefully my family copes with the transition as it happens.

I am in engineering and one of my most valuable traits is being able to solve problems that I am given and I think it will be a valuable skill even when we transition to a post scarcity world.

As for investing I found out that me fiddling with my portfolio wasn't a good idea the hard way and now I just put the money that I invest for the future into the total US market. I will almost certainly have at least a small stake on the companies that control the AGI so I am not really worried about resources when AGI comes around. I am working on becoming completely debt free and plan on being so within the next 10 years. I will continue to invest in my future by being a lifelong learner always looking on improving my skills.

I am doing nothing special to prepare for AGI. I live my life as it isn't really going to effect me. I am a mid career professional who works in an engineering department. It could be 25 years until AGI is a reality and there is a lot of living to do with a lot of purpose to do until then. I enjoy working and if AGI puts the vast majority of a job I am sure that I can find something to do that gives me purpose. As long as there is work I likely have some work to do. Live life to your fullest as you only have one life.
