Matthew 6:24 "No one can serve two masters. Either you will hate the one and love the other, or you will be devoted to the one and despise the other. You cannot serve both God and money."
Automation cannot serve two masters. It cannot serve humanity and money.
The choice is ours.
Automation in service to money, mammon & profits results in the masses of working people being cast down into poverty and precarity and starvation and putrid conditions, the unprofitable growth of the productive forces leads to imperialist war between nations, strife, and famine despite immense abundance.
Automation in service to Humanity (which pleases The Creator, as it is serves His Children) results in an end to imperialist wars, shorter work-days, more vacations, bigger families, bigger houses, bigger cars, more inventiveness, entreprenurialism, growth, unleashing of energy for the people, unleashing of life for the people
All we have do is swap out the incentives from "Mammon" to "Humanity"
Flipping the planner's switch from "exchange-value" to "use-value"
We already have a planned economy. It's planned for profits.
We should plan it instead for the sake of human flourishing.
