- Humanity Social Harmony/Quality of Life (RT will be just one example, but a major example re tech displacing a massive scale of jobs. Driving a vehicle is among the top few jobs globally. This was not the case with elevator operators. What solutions might we come to to bring on the tech and offer some cushion to lives disrupted re making a living?)
Another aspect of improvement in this regard that many seem to under-estimate is the effects of the Energy side of the business. Eventually, battery and solar production will ramp to a point that the energy needs of the Human Race will be met multiple times over. This isn't that far away. It will disrupt society by detaching people from the limits that are currently controlled by the brokers of energy and finance.
Imagine a world where energy is essentially a free resource for everyone. Once enough SWB (Solar, Wind, Battery) resources are in place to accommodate the global needs there will be a paradigm shift. As we progress toward that point, all aspects of Humanity's Social Harmony and Quality of Life will be launched to new heights by orders of magnitude that are difficult to comprehend now.
It is a challenge to imagine because we have become so accustomed to taking for granted the energy costs baked into every aspect of our lives that removing that cost from every good and service is mind-blowing. This is the kind of thing Gene Rodenberry or Robert Heinlein may have imagined, and which has generally been assumed to be fiction, as such a Utopia would be impossible to achieve. At least until you bake SWB into the pie.
The possibilities that free energy, along with A.I. working on social, medical, manufacturing and other needs, and very possibly the need for money going the way of the dodo as a consequence all lends to uncorking the creative capacity of every individual as they can then choose to contribute to the greater good merely because it would be less boring than not doing so. (squandering one's life can also be a viable option, so long as one does so without harming another)
This concept of free energy and how it will release the human potential from the bounds of those who have always controlled society under the yoke of power production and finance is almost, but not quite, out of the reach of our imaginations at this point.
It is time for a few of us to stretch the brain muscles and seize the opportunity to profit from this rising tide while doing what we can to keep the momentum moving ever forward. Spreading this message is what will offer an overwhelming counterpoint to those purveyors of FUD grappling with a future where they will become irrelevant.
