For 200 years technology has been opposed by luddites and yet economic growth, living standards, and employment went up and up with new technology despite people opposing each generation. But it seems this time with AI the luddites will finally be right

The entire core of technology for almost 200 years now has been to make machines able to do more that labour had to do, do you think people today live better or worse than 200 years ago? Do you think economic growth and living standards are up or down?

That study is Feb 10, 2025, I studied technology adoption in graduate school and one thing that became almost a law is that early adoption studies look bad, it takes people time to learn to use technology and learn to accept it

well his farmer does not understand how economics works. A mule is of no value without a worker. This is where the Leontief production function sigma equals 0, which in reality means you still need a unit of Labour for each 'machine' so you get one work with one mule

Well you see most British Jews were migrants from Europe who had massive communities in places like Poland. Over the coming 10 years those families were essentially exterminated, survivors were not wanted in other nations so in order to survive many became Zionists by necessity.
