Automation Helps Human Beings to Achieve Dizzying Heights of Prosperity

My friend is a software engineer. He is fixed bugs and tests software. He told me his company is actively trying to create programs to test software so he and his fellow programmers can be free to creatively explore new ways to improve the efficiency and output of the company. Why would they be purposely trying to replace themselves with machines? It seems counterintuitive and counterproductive.

For time immemorial technology and machines have supplanted backbreaking human labor and made it incalculably more productive. Just 100 years ago human beings struggled to support a little over a billion people on Earth. With successful automation we are currently able to comfortably support 7.7 billion human souls. This speaks to the unmistakable success in humans to master their environment such that we are thriving in ways it was scarcely conceivable 100 years ago.

Many Luddites and proponents of the green eco movement view technology, automation, and by extension human beings as being a bane on planet Earth. We are living during the safest, cleanest, and most luxurious time in human history, thanks in large part to human ingenuity. It is not about creating or destroying jobs, rather it is about creating or destroying wealth. Only freethinking and creative human beings could produce such miracles. Do not mutilate the hand that feeds you.

Specialization makes us Wealthier than the Kings and Emperors of Antiquity

“Maybe you would benefit to learn about how to grow your own food rather than being grateful you don’t have to think about it.”

 

One of the miracles of the modern economy is that of specialization. One is able to focus on working and producing in the field one is most competent. When millions of people are able to freely choose which field to specialize in, the result is the creation of wealth of monumental proportions. The result of the vast reduction of poverty and the stratospherical rise in standards of living as goods and services become cheap and affordable. Competition pushes down price and elevates quality. The primary benefactor of this magnificent phenomenon is the poor and destitute.

 

It is a blessing that we don’t have to grow our own food, sew our own clothes, chop wood to heat our own homes, and construct our own homes. Rather we are now able to work in a field of our choosing and with the value we earn, AKA currency, purchase the goods/services that are the expertise of others. This is a system that has produced a civilization that towers above all others of wealth, comfort, and leisure.

 

The beautiful and ironic thing is we now have so much leisure that we can afford to spend time criticizing the very system that has gifted us all of these miracles. We can choose to grow food because it teaches kids valuable skills about farming and where food comes from, rather than being forced to do so lest we starve. We can choose to sew our own clothes because it teaches kids valuable lessons about appreciating clothing and learning to mend torn clothing to save currency, rather than being forced to do so lest we go naked. We can choose to chop wood to supplement standard indoor heating and enjoy the therapeutic benefits of exercise, rather than being forced to do so lest we freeze. We can learn how to make additions on our homes because it saves currency and teaches kids about being a handyman, rather than being forced to do so lest we lack a shelter.

 

We have the choice to be self sufficient rather than being compelled to do so in order to survive. That is the miracle of the modern industrialized economy. The comfort and wealth we daily enjoy and take for granted would make the kings and emperors of antiquity green with envy.

Seeds of Liberty Podcast Episode 24: Stealing Scraps off the Table of Your Captors

Please enjoy this recent episode of the Seeds of Liberty Podcast. This week we were joined by Michael King, an agorist and panarchist who, among other things, is one the hosts of the Currency of Anarchy Podcast. Herein we discuss Michael’s transition from nationalistic military member to being an activist working towards the abolition of the State, agorism as “act of anarcho-capitalizing”, how Fred Durst owes everyone an apology, muh veteranism, “I fought for your freedom so shut the f**k up!”, breaking down walls, telling people that their god doesn’t exist, steal scraps of the table of your captors, the Luddites as the original minimum wage advocates, bleeding the State vs. starving it, legitimizing the State, ***We lost Michael around this point due to connectivity issues***, tiny houses, buying a ghost town, a big loophole with a prince law, seasteading, begging on the side of the road for property tax money, socialized dog-walking, monopolistic competition, and more!

The frequently discussed question: ‘What ought to be done with the reactionaries, who cannot adapt to liberty?’, would thereby be very simply solved: They may retain their State, as long as they want it. But for us it would become unimportant. Over us it would have no more power than the eccentric ideas of a sect which are of interest to no one else. Thus it will happen, sooner or later. Freedom will break a path for itself, everywhere. Max Nettlau
