> Tell me again why you deserve to profit from my hard work? Or why I deserve to profit from your hard work? Shouldn't we both just profit from our own work?
Take Mark Zuckerberg, and have him do everything he did to build and launch Facebook, working just as hard, but instead of being in the U.S. targeting a product at Ivy-League kids, he's in Bangladesh. Is he worth $33 billion in that scenario? Is he worth $3 billion? Probably not even that.
Every unit of hard work we put in here in the U.S. is multiplied using social and economic infrastructure we did not personally build but rather inherited. Robotic technology is the ultimate expression of that. Whoever owns the robotic technology in the future will not have built that technology from scratch. And when the robots do all the work, why should distribution of the production be based on something like who owns the robots?
