If sufficiently high-tech civilizations can simulate almost anything they desire, what would be the impact on how they viewed reality?

Today we will explore the possible effects on civilizations when it's individual members can have anything they want, and if society can even continue to exists if its members cease interacting with each other in favor of simulated realities.

Technology may one day grant us a Utopia in which virtually all tasks are performed by robots and artificial intelligence. In such a post-scarcity civilization, people may have difficulty finding a purpose to existence. Today we will explore how this may come about, what the consequences of this existential threat might be, and what purposes people may find for themselves in such a future.

As automation improves, what careers will be left for people?
Visit our sponsor, Skillshare: https://skl.sh/isaac3
Since the advent of technology, there have been concerns about it replacing jobs and leaving people without an income. Technological disruption has often eliminated entire industries. However, new fields of employment have always arisen to replace those, typically focusing more on training and skills, as machines have no minds and little flexibility. While artificial intelligence may one day change that, today we will examine what sort of jobs might be available to people in the future.

This episode begins an in-depth look at Post-Scarcity Civilizations, seeming Utopias where virtually anything is available to its citizens at the snap of their fingers. One of the exceptions to that may be privacy, which might be inherently impossible in such a society, and we will explore that challenge as we begin our series on such civilizations..

The concept of linking many minds together to act in concert, or even fuse into a new singular entity, has been popular in science fiction for decades. Today we will explore the idea and Networked Intelligence in general, to see how realistic it is, and what benefits or concerns might arise from it.
