The Greek philosopher Aristotle writes...
“If every tool, when ordered, or even of its own accord, could do the work that befits it... then there would be no need either of apprentices for the master workers or of slaves for the lords.”
Except (as explored in depth in the blog) Aristotle misunderstood a very deep aspect of human Life - that society implies hierarchy. Robots (99.95% of work is done by machines) will never release us from employment because that is a hierarchical feature.
