(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?

It's definitely a thought-provoking perspective. The future is uncertain, especially with the advancement of technology. It's important for us to start thinking about how our current systems and ideologies may need to adapt and evolve in order to thrive in this new technological era. It's definitely something worth discussing and considering as we navigate through these challenges.
