    It's not we shouldn't strive for a society that's caring. It's just that it isn't a given. We have to work to have that kind of society.

    Entropy is a bitch. Nothing lasts forever without doing work to maintain it.

    That used to be the reality of life. It's only very recently that we've produced machines that far outpace what humans can do. The reason we aren't seeing the benefits is that a select few own those machines and have consolidated their wealth.
