<content:encoded><![CDATA[Yes, but red-light laws are there because two cars hitting each other at an intersection is a proven and predictable harm. In the case of planes and phones, there are apparently no logical predictions, and precious little evidence. It's like a municipality has super-long reds, because somewhere they heard that a Tin Lizzy couldn't get across in time somewhere else 70 years ago.]]></content:encoded>

<content:encoded><![CDATA[Ultimately who is the ending point of everything? The consumer human beings. If this catastrophic scenario comes to fruition there will be no humans left to buy what is being produced because there will be no income. Which means that at some point the cost of automation will not be paid and it will not be conducted. It's a very simple equation. Total automation may be feasible in the future but it's not desirable by anyone. What we will have to do is to adapt the increasing automating.<br />
<br />
We'll need to review our working policies and our societal norms regarding work. Today a person that wishes to work less is considered some sort of hobo/vagabond or whatever is the word in English. This will have to change. And there will always be demand for human beings from other humans.]]></content:encoded>

<content:encoded><![CDATA["Because no one will take notice of someone who runs a blog but is too gutless to put their name to it."<br />
<br />
Or rather you wished no one would notice.<br />
<br />
Your point of naming ones self in relationship to the relevance of information they offer, has to do with courage only or "balls"  is extremely of the mark. You  have made it clear that you are a self important fool and pathetically desperate.<br />
<br />
You have yet in your embarrassing display to offer any arguments to offset any viewpoints SJD  has ever made. Obviously offended by her accuracy,  you have fallen far short of doing any better,  only whining she hasn't left herself wide open personally.  She has left herself wide open intellectually,  and you don't have the ovaries or brains to meet her on her turf.<br />
<br />
You have revealed that you are invested in naming her,  as you have posted what you have found on her to a public site.  It's creepy to do that,  especially along side the idea of trying to discredit her as some sort of public service.  If you have been on medication and recently stopped,  you may want to revisit starting up again.  If you haven't, you may want to consider it.  Shaming seems to be the only tool you are adept at wielding. Intellect would do you some good  here/now. You don't seem to be catching on that your efforts have been, and will continue to be futile here on the basis of anonymity.<br />

Wait...  Amy?  Is that you?]]></content:encoded>

<content:encoded><![CDATA[Which would be quite normal and more legal in countries with saner drinking laws. But no, giving a gun to a four-year-old is laudable, but letting his 17-year-old big brother drink, OH NOES!!11! And as for letting their adult dad gamble...<br />

<content:encoded><![CDATA[A million times this. Back when people lived off the earth one would need to respect mother nature timing to do the working. You'd have to wake up early to work while the sun is bearable. Then you'd stop for a long lunch. Between cooking and eating the harsher sun times would be gone and you'd be able to work more till sunset. Then with no electricity you'd be back for a small refreshment in a pond or something then prepare for dinner. You'd sleep early usually and wake up at dawn (biologically we aren't supposed to sleep 8 hours straight but have a small 1-2h pause as science discovered recently) and people would spend that time productively chatting with their mates/family, reading a book with a candle (depending on where and the job) and have plenty of sex. You see, no such thing as 8h of work daily.<br />
<br />
And honestly, how much time anybody effectively works without having to take a break? Becomes pretty obvious.<br />
<br />
<i>In America, we have this sick Calivinist notion of "earning a living", as if the only acceptable life is a life spent toiling 70% of your waking hours to make someone in the economic elite richer.</i><br />
<br />
It's not America only. And we need to find balance. Instead of profiting several billions large companies could be satisfied with only a few billion or even less. The root of the problem is Capitalism itself. And human greed.]]></content:encoded>
