What idea is a trap? That population will live at behest of overlords who control technology and give people the minimum necessary? Such an appealing trap huh
Again, the trap is believing that there is even an will to create such a bandaid, when the status quo could just continue indefinitely.
Compared to mass unemployment, eating dog food to stay alive, etc. which is the other obvious alternative? Why do you think the musks of the world keep touting it.
