the idea of creating a pre-determined program which will be followed is limiting. creating AI will require methods we can't yet conceptualize.

As long as software is composed of primitive language derived statements and "functional" logic (IF, WHEN, WHILE, DO, GOTO, etc...) AI will remain a fantasy.

It's the concentration of wealth causing this as the economy is being bled dry. the fix is to restore the progressive tax code, income in excess of $5M/yr taxed at 99%. not rocket science, but nearly impossible because politics, so get used to being poor America. currently half of jobs in usa pay less than $18/hr. only going to get worse unless the root cause is addressed.

Certainly during the biggest period of US wage growth ushered in by the Internal Revenue Act of 1954. Income in excess of $400K/yr taxed at 90% ensured that businesses invested as management and shareholders weren't permitted to capture earnings.

I'm convinced it's the changes in the tax laws at the root cause of this. When income over $400k/yr (5 mil in todays money) was taxed at 90% there wasn't the incentive to screw over retirees. The "bizarre just-after-WW2 period" wasn't some fluke it was the result of purposely crafted policies.
