Join us on Saturday, March 15th for Washington DC's Astral Codex Ten in Herndon. The question to be discussed is "How will technological advancement change property relations and should societies do anything to guide this change?"
Dr. Alexander recently talked about radical improvements in technology having an impact on property relations: It's Still Easier To Imagine The End Of The World Than The End Of Capitalism (
https://www.astralcodexten.com/.../its-still-easier-to...). How likely are these different possibilities talked about and are there any others? How should governments deal with increasing technological capabilities? How should individuals plan on dealing with these changes?
