Ah for the average person that would be the best course of action. Unfortunately businesses don't care about long term and haven't had to be concerned about it for a long time. They're more concerned about the short term gains and the shareholders and CEOs holding the reigns keep measuring success by those short term metrics. Any long term issues are someone else's problem. Especially when the metrics fall they all run for the hills. Any money in a long term servicable product does not reflect well in a short term profit projection. Apple would much rather you be forced to buy a new $500 device every two to five years, with an extreme preference that you buy a new device every year. Over a device that you spend $500 on then a further $2k on maintenance over the next 2-5 years. We're also in a position where your average person no longer has the skill sets to actually carry out a proper diy repair on a device like a computer or cellphone since most devices are designed to work, eventually break just outside the timeframe a company would be forced to cough up a free repair for, and be impossible to repair by the average person.

I think this is the first time i heard Peter say outright that the future economy wont be based on consumption, production, or investment. I have been trying to say this for years but am not as smart as Peter.

Zeihan’s extrapolation of current demographic trends is basically a mirror image of the assumptions that fed China’s one-child policy in the first place-i.e. it was only 40 years ago that CCP policymakers feared a Malthusian population bomb rather than an impending baby bust. You don’t need heavy state intervention to change things, just a countercyclical reaction to the underlying incentives. Before the post-WW2 baby boom, the French were basically convinced they were on the road to disappearing as a people after 100 years of relative population stagnation, which explained the defeatism of 1940. In the long run, demographic trends-like prices-are self-correcting.

Always a pleasure to listen to Peter ❤❤❤

Average national IQ of the Philippines is not high enough. China was a gold mine if you owned a company and only cared about enriching yourself; cheap, yet highly competent work with low obstinancy of the workers due to an authoritarian government. That is going away, but you can't simply replace it. In the real world the blank slate conception is a myth and you cannot simply replace one type of worker by another and expect similar results, much less industrialize an entire arbitrary country. Culture, social context, geography and biology matter a lot, which Zeihan actually gave an example of with Taiwan's peculiarities for microchips.

The 'look' part of migrating to automation has already been done enough to keep most of us already in the industry busy for years, in many cases it's technologically adverse management who are personally invested in the idea of people working. They miss the point of freeing people up to be good at non-repetetive intervention based tasks like QA, scheduled maintenance and abstract decision making. There's the social fear of the majority being unemployed overnight, so we drag things out hurting real impactful labor. Machines are always going to be better at machine like tasks. Freeing people up to find out whatever they're better at, while reducing costs of certain goods and resources seems like a good possibility.
