   I've been asking the "what do you do with the dumbass hordes" question for like 9 years now, which is not a racial question because when the IQ floor ratchets up to even 100 every race has a lot of effectively useless people on their hands
   
   the only answer anyone has is UBI, which is not realistic
   
   my answer is we need to bring back smallholding and encourage people to be as self-sufficient as possible. even less realistic but it would actually work
   
   the elites plan to just kill everyone once they have a robot workforce

     @Paultron monocrop farming is also wildly unsustainable -- it destroys the soil in record time -- and creates major labor problems

     @Paultron they really aren't
     
     I grow food, it isn't that hard. most of the time there's nothing to do but water and make sure the fences didn't fall down overnight

     @deprecated_ii I don't think smallholding would be feasible due to the massive efficiency loss of such a scheme
     Corpo farms are unironically the only way to maintain such a top heavy society filled with retards

     @deprecated_ii Years back I found some people who came up with a decent solution to this issue. The called it "technostism"/"technism", or "Vyrdism". Of course it has been forgotten thanks to multiple factors, which is a shame because it seems like the most realistic solution to the automation issues we're dealing with now.
     
     In a nutshell, people should group up and invest in the AI companies as a sort of free market alternative to UBI, and use the infinitely-increasing profits to buy their own robots, printers, etc. to become self-sufficient. I remember IvantheHeathen on youtube came up with a similar solution involving crypto or something instead of actual stocks.
     
     (I would also recommend abolishing state-enforce unemployment - i.e. "minimum wage".)

     @KryptoBlok @deprecated_ii I should've explained this to my mom when she thought that the website project I had in mind was unethical.

     In case you are wondering, it would be a repository of free-to-use reference voices for AI voice cloning software. I haven't found any site that offers them and just using any voice leads to legal issues (personality rights laws). I thought of a site where people can upload a sample voice clip of themselves so it can be used in any project.
