    I like that the person who captioned this thought 190 came after 120.

    • @gabrieltiongco

      It sounds like he’s just counting down from 120, or two minutes in seconds, saying “one-twenty, one-nineteen…”.

      That kind of counting error never would have happened in the year 2000.

      Technically, 190 does come after 120. (Just trolling. I know what you meant.)

      Yeah, that was a bit of an issue in 2000, but women gained the right to vote 2001, so it all kind of evened out.

      ​@@markae0 Universal Basic Income - it's inevitable, actually, as automation is taking away more and more low-skilled jobs, and already even some higher skilled ones. If we reach a point where automation is capable of supplying everyone's physical needs, there will no longer be any need for people to work to pay for things. At that point, the main challenge in life will be to look for and engage in activities that inspire us.

      As nice of the idea of universal basic income is, it wont work with how large our current population is. If such a society like you are describing would exist then a significant amount of the human population would die out due to poverty/starvation before it would ever happen. Not an ideal situation.

      ​@@pegasusactua2985 I didn't say it was coming in our lifetime. But look at the advance of automation - jobs are disappearing at an exponential rate. The biggest obstacle to UBI is the accumulation of wealth at the top 1%, which is also growing exponentially - the average CEO in 2023 made 246 times the average worker they employed - insane! The people who most need the available resources in the world are denied them because unfettered capitalism is accumulating virtually all the wealth in the hands of those who have more than they can ever use. How does it make any sense on a societal level to legally permit that ridiculous imbalance to continue? If those same resources were distributed equitably amongst the entire population, there would be no starvation in the world today - fact! We already have the resources needed to feed the world and eliminate unnecessary suffering. The only thing preventing it is human greed ... and society's willingness to accept the status quo by continuing to vote for representatives who support it. Gene Roddenberry had this all figured out in the 60s, and he wasn't wrong. Only time will tell if his very correct vision for the future can actually be realized. If not, we're probably just doomed.

    Ubiquitous 32-inch flat-screens, computerized diets, frozen meals, microwave prep. I mean, that's not a bad score for guessing 40-years down the road (though it's even closer in 2024 than in 2000).

    Its why I get a laugh when I hear people tell me that in just 20 years we will have advanced robots that will look real. Like buddy, if you go back 100 years ago they thought that by now we'd have robots, everyone would be driving flying cars and that we'd have apartments on the moon. We don't have any of that, yet you believe in 20 years we'll have the realistic robots???
