“No one will own cars” is ridiculous. Technology does not make things black and white.

People who would be better off sharing will share and people better off owning will still own.

Apartments are cheaper than houses, but not everyone lives in an apartment.

I’m not going to re-install child seats every morning in a new Uber autonomous car, nor am I going to share a child seat with strangers. I will continue to own a car. Maybe it’ll be autonomous, but I will own it. I also don’t ride the subway or a bus, even though those are cheaper. But the introduction of the subway and the bus were good for those who are better served by it.

@Tanner - SC of course it's ridiculous, I was being hyperbolic. However, car ownership will become a luxury few can afford in a future of self driving vehicles

Nonsense. You cannot say that with any lick of confidence.

Renting will become cheaper. That does not mean owning will become more expensive.

Look at the affordability if vehicles over the last 50 years. They've become a greater and greater percentage of a person's net worth, because of more and more technology

Because manipulated interest rates influencing a massive amount of lending and debt

Auto loans are in a huge bubble due to this.

One moment, I'm trying to find an article

You can spend the same % of your net worth on a vehicle today as the average person did 50 years ago and you’d have a FAR better vehicle.

Used cars last far longer too, making that market enormously bigger than it used to be.

What do you mean, used cars last longer?

Technology does not make people spend more. Jew-manipulated interest rates plus media promotion of consumerism makes people spend more.

Used cars last far longer today than ones 50 years ago.

Cars used to require major service before 50,000 miles. Now there are many cars that can run 150,000 miles with just gasoline, oil changes, tires, and brake pads.

FAR more reliable and FAR longer lasting than they used to be.

Even in my lifetime (I'm only 31), tires get far fewer flats than they used to, for example.

If this wasn't the <#322712586741088256> channel, I'd transition into urbanization too. Because that's another phenomenon and result of technological progress that brings a lot of good to the world, but jews have manipulated things so as to also bring a large amount of bad.

Absent jew influence, technological progress always brings bad with the good, but it brings far more good than bad.

I'm having a hard time saucing my claims, but I have a hard time believing that all the proprietary tech involved with self driving vehicles will make car ownership cheaper

I'm not saying it won't be a net positive, I'm saying I'm worried about some of the specifics

I should probably mention I have skin in the game. I just learned how to drive truck a couple of months ago.

I don't think your average farmer will be able to afford that tech, or that it will make economic sense for him to

@Der Seeteufel - SD You already participate in one of the most highly automatized industries.

Even just a few decades ago, double-digit percentages of america were farmers and now it's below 2%

You have enormous machines that displace the work of ~~dozens~~ hundreds of men

Some machines that drive themselves already

All new 18 wheelers are now automatic transmission. Guys who trained to drive stick now have a depreciated skillset. So did VCR repairmen. We're all okay and better off for it.

The iPhone put the Walkman out of work, the Palm Pilot out of work, the Kodak camera out of work, the Garmin GPS out of work, the pay phone out of work (I still have a calling card), the GameBoy out of work ... and we're all better for it.

I used to have one of each of those and thought to myself, "I can't wait until I can have all of these in one device"

The guy who told me about Identity Evropa and got me to join? He's a very young man who was red-pilled by listening to podcasts on his iPhone while mowing his dad's lawn. iPhones and podcasts didn't even EXIST when I was mowing my dad's lawn. I had to wait like 18 extra years to get red-pilled compared to him.

@Tanner - SC I get what you're saying and to be honest I'm not that worried about being displaced. I used to operate nuclear reactors and have an IQ in the 130 range. I farm because I love it. Not everyone is so lucky though.

Also I do only make $13 an hour farming. If I didn't have secondary sources of income farming would represent a pretty substantial reduction in my standard of living.

I understand and I'm not inconsiderate of our lower-IQ whites.

I just want to push back against the idea the disruption is bad. It's change, it's different, it's unknown, it might have short-term pain, but there is a lot of medium-term gain, including those lower IQ people.

Also, "If your IQ is 120 or higher, birth control should be illegal for you" - Richard Spencer

I love that quote and I keep in mind that it's a bit of our duty as high IQ guys to have high birth rates.

@Der Seeteufel - SD your lack of a decent wage has more to do with immigration than innovation
