Biotechnics and sustainability

Automation holds the key and promise of freeing Man from drudge labor-machines will produce machines that will build robots that will build robots. Automation, once feared by the proles, now offers the prospect of abundant leisure, while only the privledged few will be able to 'work.' Then Man will be able to develop his full potential, in a world of plenty- everyone will live on a stipend provided by authority. If- we diligently implement the scheme.

But- if people not up to the challenge, if they are not 'good' enough, if they regress beneath the weight of too much time on their hands, then authority might decide to declare the proles superfluous, and decide to eliminate them.

Only a very careful training in Logic and the humanities can avert the disaster. Leisure, like Democracy, makes very heavy demands upon the individual.
