As soon as you are talking Singularity (with a capital "S"), the discussion is ended. When it happens, all plans fly out of the window. Whatever the rules are then, they are make by the SI, not by your Central Soviet.

Kind of like how we were supposed to already have flying cars and hotels on the moon years ago, right? Sometimes you have to take all these predictions and projections with a healthy dose of common sense.

Most of you people arguing about this frankly won't be alive to see any of this happen (it won't even be in your grandchildrens' lifetimes) so I'm not sure what all the fuss is about.

You want to employ people even though by definition there is no work

Do you seriously believe that you will fare any better with your ridiculous BIG campaign?

It seems like it too much to ask of you to distinguish between TPTB and fine companies like Zeiss, Pratt & Whitney, Intel, Bosch, Rolex, Nikon, Ducati - after all, it is their management and their engineers you want to provide with a one way ticket to an unpleasant place.

All I hear from you is that the CFR & friends and the fiscal-financial complex should get more, even unlimited power.

No you can't - Killing fields, Gulag, KZ are not things companies come up with. Companies want to sell. Killing your customers is bad for business.

Collectivist ideas may look good, but every time in history they ended like this:

When one truly looks at Iceland's history objectively, one can see what the real causes of Iceland's collapse was. The lack of competition and the monopolistic qualities that eventually came about when five families cornered the chieftaincy market was one reason. These five families bought the majority of chieftaincies. They controlled the court and legal system to a significant extent. This meant that there were not as many chieftains to choose from. This led to less competition, creating opportunities for increased exploitation over the free farmers, eventually leading to a revolt against the 5 families.

All civilizations that collapsed before were extremely centralized.

Give me one historic collapse of a de-centralized civ (not conquest) and I will consider you less of a narrow minded totalitarism monger. What I mean is something like the Greek civilization. It never collapsed and in a way, it still survives.

For the record, jobs went to 3rd world countries because American workers got greedy and were being lazy. It got to the point where so many factories were unionized and demanding obscene pay to do very simple jobs and slack off a lot. For example, the union workers destroyed the one great American steel industry. So everyone saying greedy corporations sent jobs overseas should take a long hard look at the facts and realize that greedy workers demanding $30 an hour to tighten bolts on an assembly line caused management to look for a better alternative.

Because the Soviet system worked so well. AKA "We pretend to work, and the government pretends to pay".

At least he finally admits it. Yes, we should all share and sit around and sing kumbaya, and it shouldn't matter that some people are stupid and lazy and self-destructive and wasteful and ignorant

we should just go right ahead and give them an equal share of everything others have worked hard to earn.

But I guess you want wealth redistribution now? In other words, you want the government to take away your neighbor's property at gun point and hand it to you?

They need to adapt to survive, just like every other living thing on this planet (humans included.)

Go get a job with an established company, then you can consider thinking about a start-up business many years down the road when you have a lot more experience and savings to drawn on (and/or more established credit history for loans.
