I agree with what you say here ad this is my larger point. The revolution cannot be technological or financial to be lasting. It must be within us as individuals that make up society. I do not believe in a perfect Utopia but at a personal level, it is the creators that have long-term life satisfaction even though it is a very hard path. Making that path easier reduces suffering a great deal.

Automation should take place so people can have the space to become creators, not to increase profits. The current pathway is unsustainable so this stop-gap measure is likely unavoidable but it is not the destination, just the space to manoeuvre the change over in the innovation of the self.

Thank you for taking the time, I would answer more but have to feed my baby.
