  1. This video was published in 2017 - I'm viewing this video in 2020 and in Australia, we haven't even begun to have a serious conversation about robots replacing humans in the workplace and whether the government will provide a universal basic income. If in the near future, only 1/3 of people will be gainfully employed, the government will have to step in and help the 2/3 of people who aren't gainfully employed - the downside being there will be a large underclass of people who are dependent on government handouts in order to survive. Plus, many companies will go out of business if people can't afford to buy the goods they produce.
