I think you're courting disaster if the humans don't have as much intelligence as possible if trying to manage such an arrangement of civilization.

JC, can we talk about today.

humans would still be in control. There will always be smart people around. It's just they will be more outnumbered by the masses. So they will use tools such as computer and robotics to aid them. I do not advocated having computers running things.

So the smart people will rule. The machines will aid them, and the dumb people will be under control?

isn't it that way today? They may not know they are under control. Actually you could argue that big corporations and politicians control things. As it seems to be with the current republican goverment. People are sheep. As long as they are fed mindless entertainment, they don't seem to care.

Yes, I think that's what it is like today, but instead of having a group of people in control we are controlled by ideas.

Anyway I refuse to confine the discussion to talk about today simply because I don't think we have any palatable options for dealing today with a problem that won't be serious until the distant future.

I think you could more reasonably argue that there will be economic collapse or global warming.

You could get 100 people to argue against you and call you looney, instead of pretty much no one doing that.
