it’s probably the end of the modern world in some soon-ish timeframe.
yeah, the modern world is mostly defined by full employment, which comes from technological progress. so unless there’s a new invention to kick something to start of the scale of the industrial revolution, yeah large-scale employment (with meaningful pay) and with it democracy are done for. intelligence isn’t gonna change anything about it unless it can bring said inventions.
maybe spaceflight can generate some jobs but i don’t think it would be enough, only a step. yeah, we’re heading for a new medieval age. better get cushy with it.
