  • Cause it allows you to have a Ponzi scheme in which you always assume the future will be more prosperous.

    If money loses its value, that puts pressure on people with money to use it and try to turn it into more.

    So unless your willing to lose money due to inflation, you HAVE TO get a return on your investment, thereby ensuring perpetual growth.

    It works well when there is tons of room to grow, but then it all falls apart when you run out of that.

    Once that happens, you just keep increasing the money supply, allowing capital holders to increase at a faster rate than workers. Even though workers “make more”, they have a smaller share of the pie.

    But in the short to medium term, there are much more reliable, efficient, and cost-effective platforms that can take over in these situations: robots with arms, but with wheels instead of legs.

    I never understood why the first generation of robots can’t just be on wheels. Even if it needs to go up and down stairs often, it’s still easier to have legs just for stairs and resort to wheels all other times.

    The article also thinks battery life is an issue. IMO too many things have batteries, why can’t it just rely on a power cord. Sure that won’t work in some situations, but damn it it can fold my laundry.
