1 " There are two completely oppositional ideas that many people seem to hold simultaneously: First, work is vital and the core of human existence. Second no one will work if they don't have to. These two ideas are at complete odds with each other.

2 " Automation is no longer just a problem for those working in manufacturing. Physical labor was replaced by robots; mental labor is going to be replaced by AI and software. "
3 " Personal qualities today are increasingly marginalized in favor of technocratic, market-driven skills. Instead, finance is the new courage, branding is the new compassion, and coding is the new contemplation. "
4 " Now imagine a supercharged version of time banking backed by the U.S. government where in addition to providing social value, there's real monetary value underlying it. This new currency — digital social credits (DSCs or Social Credits) — would reward people for doing things that serve the community. "
5 " For the last mile, there are now food delivery robots being used in Washington DC, and San Francisco. They are essentially coolers on wheels that deliver food to your door for around a dollar. "
