Correct mentality?

[Onbael_]

Is it right to take jobs away from some people in the name of progress?

If with new laws, the state imposes the use of AI for a certain job.
So many workers find themselves unemployed.

There is a mentality whereby people prefer to remain in the 'Middle Ages', to continue earning every last penny they can, while avoiding investing or considering any progress that is useful for humanity.

Is this selfishness on the part of these people (anti-progress)?

Or do people have to learn to constantly adapt to all new advances?

Is it right that the state can wipe out a whole swathe of workers and replace them with an AI?

Or is the solution a balance between people adapting to progress and the new job opportunities offered by the state?

A good state in this case gives and takes away, right?

I try to understand these mechanics, in the context of a Satanic world.

Whether or not it's right, we have to learn to adapt to a changing world and develop other skills that we can make money from.

In the context of a proper and competent government, the state must promote technological progress while also upholding it's responsibility to it's citizens. The state should have the responsibility to ensure progress does not come at tremendous sacrifices and find solutions for those affected and help them adapt.

I think people focus too much on doing a job or having a business just to keep making money.

If a business is replaced by machines, that means that humanity no longer needs your services.

In my vision, the state should essentially be a big company, the one and only company.
Just as the state was born for the people and to serve and direct them, a big company should be the same.
There is no need for other new corporations, the state one already exists, does it not? So there already exists someone who provides X services and X products, we don't need thousands of companies producing the same product and waging war to be the best.

Of course, personal expression and inventiveness are welcome and the organisation of each sector is done to perfection.
This is not slavery.
From the way I have described the idea it sounds like everything will become serial factory production, but in reality it will be quite a diverse and versatile system.

Nations will become regions and each race will have its own empire, which will be the sum of the respective regions (nations) of its own race.
So there will be no need to create a thousand laws for each country, let alone trade between empires, as we will be self-sufficient.
This will be even easier when everyone in an empire speaks the same language (not English, but the original language of the Gods, or at least a more advanced one such as ancient Greek).

In an even more distant future, the whole thing can be run by a large AI.

In our collective advancement, work will become something much simpler and we will be able to focus on new horizons, as it will no longer be a necessity to wake up in the morning to knead bread or harvest grain, we will no longer need to spend 8-10 hours a day on this kind of work.

Wanting to continue doing an unnecessary activity just to keep making a quid is anti-progress.

We have to aim for progress in order to elevate ourselves and have new needs, thus eliminating those that are no longer necessary.

Of course, I am in agreement with you.

I wrote in another thread how the state can use a UBI system to essentially turn all citizens into employees and call upon those who do not have their own businesses to work for them. For example fixing roads, setting up festivals and other activities and such. And pay these people for their labor on top of what they are given monthly.

I think people would be more productive and inclined to do work if it is directly to the benefit of their nation. And since their income is quite literally tied to the prosperity of their nation, they would have further incentive to be loyal and work for their nation.
