The point of school is to make you a good wage slave. A 4 year paid internship would be more useful for most people.

Reply to How will the transition between scarcity-based economics and post-scarcity based economics happen? by asschaos
There isn't really scarcity now. Most scarcity is artificial. Business destroy pounds of perfectly good food and goods to keep prices up. Planned obsolescence is another form of artificial scarcity.
The system is truly fucked-up. I don't see AGI or ASI changing that as long as it is under human control.

Optimistic predictions are by the end of the decade.
Kurzweil Predicts 2045.
My personal opinion is 2065.
I think it will certainly happen before the end of the 21st century.
So within the life time of many alive today.

Think of it as a doubling every day for a month.
On the 1st you have a penny.
On the 2nd you have 2 pennies.
On The 3rd you have 4 pennies
On the 4th you have 8 pennies.
On the 5th you have 16 pennies.
On the 6th you have 32 pennies.
On the 7th you have 64 pennies.
On the 8th you have 128 pennies.
On the 9th you have 256 pennies
and so on. By the end of the month, you have over 1 million dollars.

Reply to comment by akmjolnir in Lots of cheap houses for sale in Berlin NH. Is there a reason I don't want to live there? I can understand if no jobs (I can work remotely). Any other reasons? Also how is the rental market? I'm asking because there are inexpensive multi units for sale. by RedLeafRoy
My Grandmother had cable TV in the 70s in Gorham. There must be some sort of infrastructure from that.
