What do societies need to feel happy?
I think for most people it is good food, quality healthcare, entertainment, a little autonomy, and self-purpose.
This coming era of hyper abundance thanks to AI and robots will create a deflationary economy where almost all of our necessities will be nearly free.
We’ll have incredibly high quality food because of close-by vertical farms maintained by robots.
Our home robot won’t just do the dishes and fold the laundry, it’ll be our personal doctor, nurse, and therapist.
Generative AI and advancing tech will create entertaining experiences that our ancestors would have thought was magic.
Travel and adventure will become more accessible thanks to advanced vehicles to transport us anywhere in the world and someday, the solar system.
And most importantly, automation will free us from the hundred year death grip of cubicles and commutes. With the demise of the 9-5, the birth of a new era in humanity begins.
In the coming decades, humans will be able to pursue careers and vocations not because of a paycheck. But rather, we’ll be able to pursue what we want, with who we want, and how we want.
Just as hunter gathers could never have envisioned the need for accountants, we can’t possibly fathom what the coming century has in store for us.
It’s spectacular to be living through such a transformative era!
