(I wrote this last night) On the eve of our Independence Day, I can’t help but think of our current political challenges. It doesn’t matter which side of the political aisle you walk. After all, the reality of our collective future doesn’t change, one way or the other. The challenges facing our society, economy and country don’t change with political affiliation. If not this decade, then soon there after, we will be heading into an unknown technological future. I’m not sure anyone knows if the current architecture of our social norms, rules and regulations is likely to survive a future where we humans have to coexist with what you can colloquially call aware machines. What happens when the core norms of current economic systems are eroded because fewer humans are needed for production? Is it time for a post-capitalist economic ideology?

I completely agree with your sentiments. The fast-paced advancements in technology are inevitably reshaping our society and economy, and it's crucial for us to start thinking about how we can adapt to this new reality. A post-capitalist economic ideology may indeed be necessary to address the challenges and opportunities of a future where automation and AI play larger roles in our daily lives. It's definitely a topic that requires serious consideration and discussion.
