In Korea and Japan, robots and automation is on the way to fill up the works left by a declining population. What work? Labor. Caregivers wont be replaced by robots, not fully automating the whole caring business as if, since only human beings can give it. The exaggeration is that there will be no more Koreans by 2050. That's why even companion robots are being developed for seniors in home for the aged. A reskilling of whatever population is left should provide enough alternative jobs to labor force who will be affected.
If ten billion lock-in population increase can be explained already, perhaps we might have some clue what those figures are for decrease in population.
As we've discussed already, robots shouldn't look exactly like a human being that you wouldn't be able to know the difference. And the robot doll above has those limited area or scope of function which is still connected to a control center if emergency happens for example. We don't have a problem with such unlike our problem with AM. The old lady even told it speaks like her grandchild, a regular assistance when human situation couldn't provide it, though not to fully replace it.
Reminder: we are thinking about the future here, not worrying about it.
Therefore do not be anxious about tomorrow, for tomorrow will be anxious for itself. Let the day’s own trouble be sufficient for the day. -Matthew 6:34
--------------------
The human beings who know labor in many forms and aspects was centuries extinct already when the AI and robotic system broke. A catastrophic earthquake, shook the whole earth and split the biggest continent in two. Human beings have to learn to work again by hands. Most died of exhaustion even before the first fruit of their labor even bore fruit. The old were survived by the younger populations who were trained on manual living, and was able to still adapt and survive. Nomads who went rogue against the system supported this sophisticated youngster survivors who each have the instructions for life if something happened. Most of the gadgets though broke due to tsunamis all over the world. The nomads cared for these youngster survivors while the instruction for life made them start to rebuild everything again from scraps of the previous dogen and woven cities.
--------------------
By any means automation must work, since the world has successfully achieved what it wants, lower population. If automation fails, then just maybe, we will need to again wait for another 2,000 years to attain to what we've achieved right now. Achieving a ten billion lock-in population that doesn't increase anymore, in a sustainable way, might be the thing that needs some studies, not the going back to lower population. But I think we can't reverse the effect of population control now. I wonder if archaeologist will unearth artifacts of quantum computers of a lost civilization 2,000 years from now.
We're almost at the pinnacle now to try if that's how a loving earth population should be, but with a better management of everything. Now we've lost the chance, I think birth dearth of course has also a lock-in number, I just don't know how many. Even without stabilization points, the continued fall of the population will naturally stop. I think nature has an inherent design, however sinful human beings disrupt it.
It's not as simple as finding that Kakapo will mate when Rimu trees bear fruit. We are rational and truth beings who lives by propositions. The devastating unfounded truth is that we will enjoy this world when there are less population. Then let's see. How less? Let's just pray that the automation that we will replace population won't break. And that human beings are still not that weak to skill up again for laborious tasks manually.
