I figured you would make allowances for those who are UNABLE to work, T.A.. I suspect most people will do that. Even in our most primitive times, some cared for people who were unable to provide for themselves.
But for the lazy and incompetent, how to "get rid of them one way or the another?"
That can become a rather barbaric slope...as I suspect you recognized.
Talk to me about that.
May I respectfully suggest they may not be a drain on society, but may provide the need for a transformation much needed right now.
They may allow us to see that we will soon (may already have) reached a point where it makes no sense to pay enough humans a living wage so that everyone can live adequately without having to "earn" that living.
We can, of course, just kill those people who are lazy...or who are not competent enough to compete reasonably with computers and robots. Essentially, just put them out on an ice floe.
BUT, there may come a time, relatively soon, where the numbers of people we will have to "get rid of' will be significant.
(That time is right now. We already have way too many people who are not able to compete successfully with machines.)
We can talk about that here in our discussion.
Okay...let's start with the question of how we resolve that problem.
Just kill 'em?
Perhaps have them dig holes with a shovel for 6 hours a day...and spend 2 hours filling them in...5 days a week, fifty weeks a year?
Others may want to join in this discussion about how to rid society of them?
