[ExI] Parking a car with 12 neurons

Many people can't park a car. Perhaps they have less than 12 neurons?

Technology creates jobs, but it eliminates jobs much faster. In a few
decades, the majority of people won't have a job, because there aren't
enough jobs that need human workers. I don't see how future societies
will survive without introducing a basic income that allows everyone
to live a modest but decent life, without needing to steal and kill to
survive. This is not incompatible with libertarianism, but it's
another kind of libertarianism.

That's why I say it would not be wise for libertarians to stick their head in the sand and pretend they can continue on with their old ideas just as they always have and society will not tear itself apart.
