In this chilling conversation, we discuss why humanity is currently drifting toward a future where we have everything but do nothing—turning into the "obese babies" from the movie Wall-E. In this episode, we confront the "Keynesian prediction" that science will eventually solve the economic problem, leaving humans with the terrifying question of how to live without the necessity of work. We explore why billionaire tech leaders are quietly investing in mass entertainment to distract a jobless population, why Elon Musk's push for humanoid robots might be a psychological trap, and the critical reason why we must never allow ourselves to feel empathy for a machine.
