... build and repair robots?

Program robots who can repair robots and also program robots who can repair the robots that repair the robots. Then you only need a minimal amount of people who love robots per commune who can perform maintenance. :love:

Even in a society that was more communal in some way, I don't see people throwing away their desire for convenience. Like, ever. Nobody wants to be stuck farming all day or "doing their part" for the community or hunting. They'll want to research, do music, be artistic, or just explore freely without worrying about food supply, water supply, transportation, etc. Therefore, we need robots.

Maybe. And in a society where everything is ran by robots we could only be communist or socialist. Capitalism would die because look what happened to Detroit.

Edit: And that's a reason why I liked Yang and I know it's a reason you like him too. He actually thought about how automation is going to take over the work force.

It will and it won't. Also what is this, 2015?

you had the McD CEO saying that if workers ask for higher wages he'll automate their jobs

Or look at Detroit.

A life working fast food isn’t worth living anyway.

You’re supposed to be sucking Lucy’s ding dong.
