Robots can take most of the jobs, but the feeling of power over other humans they likely cannot replace.

> Robots can take most of the jobs

Not in our lifetimes and certainly not in our form of society. Robots will only drive down the price of labor. People will always be able to supply labor at costs below the price of materials for robots.

  • " People will always be able to supply labor at costs below the price of materials for robots."

    Why? What critical materials do robots need that will always be more expansive than raising a human?

    Also, from the point of "the rich" - the benefit of a robot is, that it will (stupidly) do as command, unlike a human. They don't have a family they want to take care first.
