A nation of workers

"I don't want a nation of thinkers. I want a nation of workers."

—John D. Rockefeller, 1903

In 1903, John D. Rockefeller said during an event of the founding of the General Education Board

"I don't want a nation of thinkers. I want a nation of workers."

Almost 120 years later, it is clear that his wish was honored and became true. For 120 years, too many of us became workers that produced the most amazing products and services. But these workers also created something extraordinary: artificial intelligence. With GPT-3 developed by the OpenAI organization, a machine has been created that can almost think like a human, and in many cases even better and faster.

Today, machines basically consist of two components, one physical and one mental. The mental part is growing exponentially, some even expert an information processing explosion in the coming years. The other part is the physical part, which we call robots.

It is predicted that both, the mental and physical components will merge into a never-seen being that can think and work faster than any human ever will.

After that point, humans will not be needed anymore for performing work nor for thinking. One would wonder what will humans be needed for at all?

My book "The Wealth of Generations" tries to describe a world in which humans can fulfill a purpose without working for a living.

Will people in the middle class ever evolve to become sophisticated investors or will they ultimately be replaced by AI?

Written by Ingemar Anderson with the help of GPT-3, an artificial intelligence model. Technology has always helped to make the lives of the working class easier. This is a good thing because the working classes are working for the upper classes. However, now that technology has advanced so far, the working classes might be taken over by it. This is a bad thing because the lower classes will end up having nothing. The working class might never evolve to become capitalists because, today, they are not granted the same opportunities as those with money, those who learned how to create and manage capital. Capitalism can create inequality and those with money are not always willing to share it with those without, which is why they will eventually be replaced by AI. So, the working class might not evolve to become capitalists because they could be replaced by AI. In Thomas Piketty's book, "Capital in the Twenty-First Century" he discusses if the working class might be replac

How to Create a Balance Sheet and Why it is Important.

Written by Ingemar Anderson with the help of GPT-3, an artificial intelligence model. What is a Balance Sheet? A balance sheet is a snapshot of the financial condition of a company at a given point in time. It shows the company's assets, liabilities, and equity at that time. It is called a balance sheet because it is supposed to balance. An example of a balance sheet is shown below: Assets: Cash, Accounts Receivable, Inventory, Property, Plant, and Equipment Liabilities: Accounts Payable, Long-term Debt, Short-term Debt Equity: Common stock, Retained Earnings, Treasury Stock The balance sheet shows the company's assets, liabilities, and equity. The total of these three things is equal to the company's total assets. The total of all liabilities and equity is equal to the company's total assets. Why is it important to create a balance sheet? In the business world, companies are often created to make a profit and provide value to the consumers. One way to measu
