Short Circuit by Richard Douth...Extract [...] from:<br />Short Circuit by Richard Douthwaite - 1996<br /><br />["The most worrying aspect of the present crisis is that, for the first time in history, the <br />rich no longer need the poor" Pierre Calame, the president of the <b>Foundation for the <br />Progress of Man</b> told a conference I attended in Paris in June <b>1993</b>. He went on to explain that, in the past, the rich had always needed the poor - as servants, to grow food, to build their houses and to make the goods that they required. Now, however, many of the jobs <br />that the poor had done were performed by machines and, as far as the rich were <br />concerned, it was unnecessary for as many people as previously to be retained within the <br />economic system. The surplus was therefore being expelled and maintained in limbo at <br />the lowest level of public support possible without them becoming a serious threat to the <br />well-being and equanimity of the better-off. <br /><br />But if the rich can manage without the poor as a result of technology, can the poor <br />manage without the rich? I believe they can, and the ways in which they can do so are <br />what the rest of this book is about.]<br /><br />Ah, did they (Foundation for the <br />Progress of Man) forget the need for cannon fodder, the rich do like to be entertained!<br />Oh wait, AI/Virtual-reality to the rescue to placate some of the masses as well as change their (masses) view of what humanity is about but more importantly allow them (rich) to indulge in whatever perversion/s satiate while seemingly keeping their hands relatively clean.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
