Reply to comment by pre-DrChad in A future without jobs by cummypussycat

Hey man, it's just a discussion post. Comment why you think future will be better. I'm not pessimistic about tech. My only doubt is human nature.

Also this is not a echo chamber right? Only by thinking about bad shit, can we take measures to prevent them.

And no, there exists many sci-fi books that talks positively about science. I don't think we would even be at this point I'd not for sci-fi

Why the future will be better? Well you mentioned poverty. I think you should acknowledge the fact that poverty has been decreasing as technology increases.

Medical advances due to technology will greatly reduce suffering in the future.

And no this sub is not an echo chamber but I don’t want it to be another futurology which is just filled with a bunch of ignorant doomers.

Yeaaaaaah, I'm going to disagree with you there. I mean, technically, every sub is an echo chamber, but some subs just go above and beyond.

Is puberty being decreased? Yeah may be in developed countries, but not in mine.

But yeah, crime rate is lower and medical advancements and human lifespan have improved, they will improve even more with ai.

I'll check out that subreddit

I lurk in a lot of places online. It's kinda impossible to avoid doomer thoughts. A lot of people are feeling that way. Hope it gets better.

to get it straight, you do want the "rainbows & sunshine" society, but you're just negative about the rich ppl letting it happen, yes?

as humanity has progressed, rich people have become outliers, what majority wants will eventually happen, although there will be billionaires and corrupt governments exploiting the system, i do see a ray of optimism that humans will converge to end the suffering one way or the other.
