Nope. They will not have a sudden revelation. I suspect it will be a very violent thing. But we're not there yet. Too many are still too comfortable.

We will have to reimagine our entire economic and social systems. And the existing ones will not go away easy, so things are going to get WAY worse than they are now before they get better.

You're 100% correct. But these people are, for the most part, just now starting to think about this and realize it's not science fiction and it's not far future. There's a whole level of existential dread they're just experiencing now. It will take some time for them to wrap their heads around it.

That doesn't change any of what I said.
So what's your solution? Keep your head in the sand and just hope it all works out okay? Pretend like this isn't happening and it'll all go away?
This genie is not going back in the bottle and things are going to get so much worse before they get better.

If you think that will help at all I don't know what to tell you. Our system is what's going to need to change. UBI or something similar. This isn't going anywhere.
That said, it will get better and more efficient so at least it's not as destructive.

That's not entirely true. No one is forcing it on me... But I can use it to be a one-man software development company with multiple clients and I find it incredibly useful, despite that it absolutely is replacing development jobs.

So if it comes out and there is irrefutable proof of Trump being involved with Epstein the way we all know he was... What will it change? His followers don't seem care at all.

I had some dental work done in Taiwan in 2001 and I found out quickly that they only give you "freezing" if you ask for it. What was extra surprising was that I actually preferred most work without it, as it wasn't necessary.

Ugh. That reminds me... I've got an implant installed but still need to get the crown. Got the implant in Calgary but haven't set a dentist up here in Kelowna yet...
