Well, I'm arguing that everything will go to shit and there's not much hope for the future. And trends like these are a prime examples of it. I mean sure, the money lenders, the world of finance, the big mega-corporations, the handful of people who directly serve them will surely be thrilled. And the politicians who will get a nice bonus for their efforts to drive their cause.

The real problem here is the inevitable technological progress and accumulation of knowledge, that will never stop. It's a Pandora's box that already has posed immense potential dangers to humanity. People becoming obsolete is just one of them. I for one don't want people obsolete, stupid, dependent and manipulated beings stuck on a prison planet controlled by a skewed debt driven economic system and the sick machinery it developed out of itself.
