It probably wasn’t that big of a deal

his response, thus far

What a good response. Go tucker even if you are an economic retard

Lol. None of what he said was really that bad.

These people are ridiculous

I made myself a new icon for some accounts. thought I would share

@amlam I like his economics

REEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE

His economics is dumb. “I don’t like technology because we need to pay people to do dumb things”

The tractor was a mistake. Fields should be plowed by hand for employment

lol thats a strawman and you know t

lol the tractor was a mistake 🙄

Ya, that wasn't anything close to his point.

jordan peterson makes the same point regarding what do we do with the population of people who have an iq < 85ish.

i forget the exact number

ppl that cant boil water on a stove if you gave them the instructions.

Humans aren't ever really like that, tho even if they were. Giving them instructions would only make things worst, as that's not how humans learn best.

It’s analogous to his point. He’s against self driving cars because humans drive them right now. That’s retard tier economics

@Shadows it has to do with the cognitive ability to follow instructions.

@amlam i think tucker is concerned with the rate of change, rather than the change itself

Not displacing 10mil people without jobs isn't a retard tier economics.

when jobs go obsolete in less than a generation, that can cause problems

Artificially hampering human productivity because it isn’t good for some people is pretty retarded

I’m willing to entertain the timescale argument for sure though

But outlawing self driving cars isn’t the way to solve the problem

@Big T I know what you were getting at, but if a person really is stupid, giving them instructions isn't how you teach them lol.

did he actually say to outlaw self driving cars tho?

if not, then we can all find some common ground on the timescale part

@Shadows its not a matter of teaching, but rather a matter of trainability.

Did he not? If he didn’t then I’m mistaken on his position but I’m still hesitant to throw the brakes on technological advancement that will make society massively more productive

idk, thats why i asked you lol. i just know his general position on technological automation and its effect of jobs.

i personally think that in the case of truck drivers, they would probably be transitioned into a supervisory role over the cargo

or manually assisting in areas where gps or w/e goes screwy (Which does happen often in truck driving)

Humans will still be needed in an age of automation at the very least because they are infinitely more adaptable. The way I see it we just won’t be wasting 10s of millions of human lives by having them sit in a truck cab for their whole lives. Just like we were wasting everyone’s lives by having them plow fields and pick crops 100 years ago

@amlam Being wise about the chooses we make is never a bad thing, talking about all aspects of a problem does not make for a retarded argument. Tucker is looking at the human part of this issue.

Tucker is missing a large part of the human aspect though. What people do today will be viewed as a massive waste of time by generations who don’t have to do that shit

but thats future generations

that would be normal

its when its under a generation that is the issue
