Only way to distribute wealth without the violence is with KYCed POW blockchain.
My AI replacement is going to think watching KZhead at work is a crucial part of my job.
Marcus Jarrell Technically, yes since it can gather information about inventions and discover new inventions for all ai to benefit.
It won't, because your activity and productivity are analyzed individually.
Hahaha so good 🤣. What sucks is that the AI would be able to do both your work and dah KZheads at 99% efficiency. 😩
uh i watch memes soooooo
Machine karen that that try to sell an essential grease oil to her coworkers.
"'Let's invent a thing inventor,' said the thing inventor inventor after being invented by a thing inventor."
ok
Lets make a religion out of this
i just got it
By the way where the hell are we?
Hmm...
I graduated art school 7 years ago thinking I had job security... now programmers are inventing code to automate art and design, as well as animation. It's terrifying. I have a great job as a lead game artist right now, but I wonder where it'll be in 10 years...
What games have you worked on
Remember to keep top of your game with creativity when ai makes its wave in the industry
Art is a hobby.
which game company do you work for?
@@deker0954 Man i would love to play video games made by people who only have art as a hobby. I sure do bet they would look great. And take just as much time as a group of professionals.
This video definitely needs a second episode
give us an update on the impact of automation its been 6 years
hello there i feel the same
Mabye they want a big difference, 6 years isn’t that far apart, I would like one in the near future
This is becoming increasingly relevant as the coronavirus lockdown shows us just how few people we need to run a country.
its all empty jobs that only exist for the system to justify itself
@@magnusorn7313 Even worse. They disturb those who do real work.
Well that’s not how it works at all. Many of the people that had to stop working weren’t mandatory to keep the country running but are mandatory for keeping the quality of people’s lives up, like people who work at restraints or hair salons or hotels
@Mark Swanton That's where China gets into the picture, I hope that countries put in measures in place just in case of an large scale economic takeover from china.
@@mattelollol1 too late. China had already poured billions into the U.S. economy. Look it up
Haha jokes on you, I don't have a job to be replaced. ... please send help.
HushVox it only means you are already being replaced
kang C No he never had a job thats what he is saying
We no longer need chains to be enslaved, the new chains are jobs. Fuck working my whole life in a job that I don't like to go buy shit that I don't need, its so easy to fall into the trap, I'm better than them I got more crap
No google fixed that .... no they got robots that do nothing now...... man your screwed. I would try riding a unicycle there are no unicylcing robots yet good luck
Hahahah
would be great to update this with a second episode between AI Image generation and the future of creativity
I see I am not the only one who came back to watch this video again...
Spot on! We need a follow-up.
My thoughts exactly
Lately I was concerned about the growth of technology after witnessing firsthand the potential of Art AI and how did artists react to this, and then KZhead brought me here to a video made 5 years ago.
Same thought
Kurzgesagt guys, we really need you to do another video of this...
Chat-GPT 4 came out we are getting eerily close to this 😅
Uh ooo
Is no one else impressed at the quality Kurzgesagt achieves with ONLY 12 people? Been following the channel for a while now but holy crap, TWELVE PEOPLE?!?!?!
Its only 12 people to run the bare minimum of the channel, such as the narration, animation and researchers, they still reach out to other people like other researchers occasionally for further help
Look at their website sometime, it takes much more than 12 people to produce the awesome stuff they do.
Automation
There are other studios that run on 12 people, like Axolot (Creator of Scrap Mechanic).They started off with 3 people, 6 years later they run on 12 people working full-time. It makes me impressed that they could make such a good game by just 12 people
What more do you need? Its actually too many people if you ask me, but it seems to be necessary to produce larger quantity of content
"This video took over 900 hours to make..." Depressing or not, there's no way to NOT give that kind of effort a Thumbs-Up.
Dino Hall F to those who disliked
@@saurabhponkshe F? More like F U.
Paranoia you get F ed Off.
A dozen guys worked for 900 hours over 9 months? That's like a hobby.
Assuming everyone works equally, 900 hours between 12 guys is 75 hours per person. If they work a full 8 hours, that's 9 days of work, or Abt 2 weeks of work. Of course, work is segmented most likely. They're not just working on this video, they're prolly working on 3 or more at a time, which is how they do it full time.
GPT-4 is here and i could only think of this video and had to re-watch... who else is back here thanks to GPT-4 release?
AGI : i am the inevitable
@@dometheonlyone8936LLMs ain't it though. For a proper AGI we need a little bit more advancements
Please make an updated version of this video!! It's been almost 5 years and there has been a lot of changes.
Kurzgesagt: the AI will learn what to recommend you Me: *watches ep 3 of a series* KZhead recommendations: I think that you should watch episode 5, 11 and 1
After 3 there is 7 thats obvious
It either cant count or it personally thinks they make more sense that way so it re shuffled them in the re showing edit? But that cant be right it gets stuck in a re show feedback loop. Quentin tarantino could be in trouble when it cracks creativity in narative, bumblebee style free flow troll movies, computer gremlins that seem like possessed tech lol.
well, it is a chronological order... under the field z17 prime (I know it's not an actual mathematical field, I'm just joking around)
actually, the recommendations IA did its intended work XD he saw you watched 3 eps of a series in a short time, so next time you get online it says "hey, wanna see the rest of the series? Or memes about it?"
@@elvladiskov6174 yeah but still: Hmm.. You watched 3 episodes? Here, watch the fifth episode
gets happy when Kurzgesagt uploads gets depressed after watching the video :(
yeah now im worried about my job as well :(
you better have a plan B :3
Pretty much every Kurzgesagt video
Tell Me This #every_video
elon musk is saying that a basic income will become a requirement for society since there just wont be jobs for everyone
You guys are only 12 people?!? That is incredible. Y’all must be the dream team putting in the work to output all these amazing videos. Thanks guys!!!
Its been 6 years. Likey more than doubled their numbers to increase production.
The fact technology has reached this point isnt the bad thing. The bad thing is that so many companies are MORE THAN WILLING to exploit it to its fullest, solely for the sake of profit.
You got me depressed just when i forgot about "Humans need not apply" by CGP Grey

It didn’t glitch for me because I am their friend PLUS I e m s s( I encrypt my sentences sometimes) AND I play a game that is 101% automation AND I love it!
That's why i hate AIs
Kenny Cheung you don’t understand bitch
With all recent push-back against AI generated images, this episode feels more real than when it was released 5 years ago. But image creation (or creativity, which is/was a small difference between humans and machines). Imagine AI getting better at pattern recognition? (Jobs like: detective work, discovery for law suit, financial auditing). One step further, with advancement of robotics, high precision tasks such as surgery? If so, then we are really headed toward the rat-utopia experiment…
robots are already more precise then humans. That's why neuralink was implemented by machine
And yet, unemployment is near record lows.
New Ais have actually been said to help in this feild of jobs, like lawsuits and especially programming
@@andyeah3414 oh yes! absolutely! AI's are great at optimising workflow and make certain tasks less prone to human errors. And it's exactly why it's going to become more and more of our workforce, more accurate, precise, and easy to maintain an aspect of any given workflow. That can REPLACE a human that used to do the same task but costly and prone to mistakes. The argument is not if AI are good for us, they ARE, by a huge margin. But it's the people they replaces that's going to need to find something else to do, retrain, relearn, or welfare… and it's often the last bit that's gonna cause major push backs
@Spain, Italy, Greece and the UK don't correspond to what you say. Literally half my family is unemployd and poor( I'm too btw)
This aged quite well only 6 years later and the insane advancements in A.I hours worked is going to decline in the next 2 to 3 years and A.I is already being used to replace people many companies are almost done with testing phase and its looking really good.
Honestly good. If In a decade or two we get a ubi I’d be satisfied
@bobjoe1522 honestly I hope sooner than that. Technology grows at an accelerating rate real humanoid robots are now finally cheap enough to economically use and Amazon is testing them partnered with a robotics company (go figure lol). Honestly I'm not against it if I go to a store and get served by a robot HELL YEAH best day ever. I do think they will implement one as they won't have a choice in order to make money people have to have money to spend and the loop continues. We will see.
the 60fps in this video is silky smooth
The Hidden Truth because they animate 60 ticks per second 👌🏽👌🏽
Why isn't anyone mentioning the improvement of animation in this episode? I'm in love with the look AND the animation now!
BagelCollector I was actually searching comments just for that. I'm amazed, they've really pushed it extremely far this time! Can't wait to see next ones. How many hundreds of hours could this have taken tho :O Edit: ok, 900. Speechless!
When you're doing your job right nobody notices...
I noticed, but didn't comment. Until NOooooww
Yes I too love their animations , and at the same time their animation is now more phenomenal.
maybe machines did it
"It's far from certain that things will turn out negatively" I have never doubted something so hard in my life

The further we go through time the scarier this video gets. ChatGPT, AI art and AI-Generated voices are indistinguishable and even used to refine human behavior. The world is changing a bit faster than before, and I don't know if I can catch up to it.
ChatGPT is trash, over hyped Christmas toy. It will be forgotten in 3-4years.

Get a real job.
@@salve9921 ChatGPT might fail, but GPT4 is a few months around the corner
"What am I supposed to do now?" As with any new tool that comes around, you should embrace it, learn to use it, learn to improve your productivity with it and increase your overall value proposition. AI will only take the job of the ones that won't be able to adapt to it.
@@salve9921 Mate, just look how quickly AI has advanced in the last year alone. Yes there are still errors, but they're minuscule compared to earlier models - and future ones are happening faster and faster as our understanding of deep learning grows
The crazy thing is machines could already br controlling us and not even know it. We essentially let machines do our thinking for us and figure stuff out for us. Its still a form of control.

Perhaps this is the real reason for the Great Filter; having nothing to do yet being able to survive thanks to the work of machines that feed us, we descend into complacency, boredom, desperation and finally self destructive madness, like the mice in the Calhoun experiments. A fate awaiting all galactic civilizations that reach the technological ability to create full automation and A.I.
I don't know, but if humanity can merge their brain to the AI, won't humanity free of such great filters?
In the last episode of season one of Star Trek the crew found a capsule of people who were frozen for 300 years (they're from the 20th century). They revived them and one of them started bragging about how much money he has. Picard: "This is the 24th century. Material needs no longer exist." The guy: "Then what's the challenge?" Picard: "The challenge is to improve yourself; to enrich yourself; enjoy."
Oh yeah I saw that one, comment section has too few star trek comments

"All jobs can be done by machines now!" "So we can have a utopia now right? right?" Dystopia:
Capitalist Corporate Distopia.
Right? Machines are supposed to allow us more free time to spend our extra money, but instead all that time and money end up going to corporate overlords.
@ABitLeft Personal ownership can be fine. Private ownership is what is bad. Corporations as people, money as free speech/political donations, and bribes as lobbying are all bad. It's not that "capitalism" is bad, it's a stepping stone to a better system, another rung on the ladder of progress. Capitalism, as it is practiced now, is not good. That is because it is authoritarian capitalism at this point, and its oligarchy hides behind the governments it puppets, and has made its way into nearly every facet of life on this planet. One of the biggest hurdles we're facing, especially in the US, is lack of good education, cults of personality, cultish mentality, willful ignorance, and lack of understanding/empathy. The worst part about it, is that a huge chunk of MAGA people are "Christian," and don't even realize that the GOP *do not* represent anything about what their Bible teaches them... and all their strongest beliefs seem to contradict what a good Christian should be. The fucking Messiah of their faith is a brown, middle-eastern, Jewish man... a revolutionary, a radical, a martyr, and quite literally a Hippie Communist. In all likelihood, the dude actually went to learn in the East, and was trying to teach Buddhism to Jewish people, and nobody seems to get this... there is literally a whole practice that is quite well written, that outlines all the same principles as Jesus, and has really good (and rather secular) guidelines on how to be a better Christian. Also, technically Buddha isn't a "god", so practicing Buddhism doesn't violate the first commandment of the tablets of Moses. Next time you accidentally get into a discussion with a right-wing nut-job, remember to ask if they're Christian, and then ask them if they have ever made friends with homeless people, if they've ever sold everything they had and hit the road with faith in "The Way", if they've ever made food for hungry people, if they've ever welcomed in immigrants. Or just ask them if they're aware that Jesus wasn't a white man.
@ABitLeft I'm talking about a way forward from where we are, that could be a small start to a greater "revolution" involving actually fixing what we have to make it better. If there is no private ownership of corporations, only employee-ownership, workers would have the ability to change their working conditions, bringing up their morale (and pay), become more effective, and have a stake in what they're doing (shrinking the alienation from the fruits of their labor). This is only one tiny facet of these ideas and what they could change. People can still "own" their own things within socialist systems. There does not have to be "everything is public, everything is shared," it's just not feasible in this day an age when so much individualism, self-vs-other, and: cut-throat competitive, dog-eat-dog survival-of-the-fittest, I'm gonna get mine selfishness so prevalent in the mindset of everyone brainwashed and/or living under late capitalism and trying to get by through any means necessary. PS: I love Marxist ideas, ideals, and ideology, but the dude was wrong about a few things, couldn't see coming what we have now. He definitely underestimated how much his (very well intentioned and actually quite moral and nice) theories would become corrupted by tyrannical/authoritarian/fascist dictators, used against people, and then create a negative image of his ideas to the point where any mention of them instantly sends up red flags to the indoctrinated masses after the "Red Scare" to the point where you can't even discuss his ideas with people who have never read them because they instantly think of Leninism/Stalinism/Maoism/Poohism instead... or even somehow Nazism because the word "Socialist" was corrupted by them as well. What we really need to be doing is critically analyzing what is hurting society (specifically people, also the planet), figuring out what isn't working right (some parts of everything, most parts of some things, and everything about certain things), and figure out which good aspects of different systems and ideas could be used to patch what we have. Also we need to start using other words like "collectivism" or "cooperativism" or "empathy" (lol) instead of antiquated terms that have lost their true meaning because of bad people.
What happened to the American Dream? It came true. You're looking at it.

Chatgpt4 is the new breakthrough lol
Now it's getting crazier every week
5:34 "...data about what we do at work" (playing Solitaire)
Beat me to it, lol!
It’s true though!
These programs aren't just following everything we do. Once they have our patterns down then they start to strip them of fat. Time we spend not working using a bathroom, blinking, thinking, procrastinating (because c'mon we all do that, we are human), a complex algorithm will look at that and then it will cut it out just to see IF it will increase performance. Spoiler warning. It will test it, it will find it, and it will remove it. Btw: If you never had a job, good luck getting one that isn't flipping burgers, and good luck when they replace that. Ps. We're fucked, we had a good run.
You know, something just occurred to me: Automation is going to end the need for "work" altogether, in the same way the industrial revolution eventually ended slavery. A world that has advanced automation _should be_ a world of abundance for everyone... So the problem with automation is actually cultural: We've always lived in a world of scarcity and this has ingrained in us the notion that we shouldn't constantly give valuable goods away without repayment of some sort. If we hold on to that notion, automation is going to be a curse. People will starve because they can't pay for food, despite the fact that robots will be producing literal mountains of it for free.
the problem is capitalism, yes.
You my friend have just stumbled into the amazing world of FALC (Fully Automated Luxury Communism). People are scared by the prospect of losing employment, but few people seem to consider the prospect of a world where work is not needed. I for one am excited to see the economy collapse, and subsequently, capitalism as a whole.
This JUST occurred to you? What do you think the point of UBI is? See, this is why we can't have nice things.
@@johnnytwobyfour2592 Easy man, don't act like you've never had a sudden epiphany.
@@fajardito1002 I considered the C-word too. But I think the problem runs deeper than that. Capitalism is a symptom of want, a consequence of thousands of generations living with too little of what they needed.

Here from the future, they asked the question about whether automation was going to end up being a bad thing this time around. Outlook is pretty grim so far.
I'm consistently excited to see your videos appearing in my feed. Your content is always fantastic. Keep up the great work
The reason I'm not afraid of an AI taking my job is, that they actually think "you bought a bed recently, we recommend you a second one"
well that’s AI now, but.. Not like it’s going to just stop progressing, people ARE working on it year after year. not trying to make you stress but uh
this is what humans do. I for example have to buy new house to store all my new beds
thats because those AI's dont understand context they dont actualy know what a bed is just that you bought one so it recomends you another one teaching AI context will be very inportant theres already companys working on it
Ah, you bought a toilet, you must be a toilet collector.
They will learn to recommend you bed sheets, pillows, and blankets sometime probably soon.
Me watching this video : *panick* Me seing that the video is from 3 yrs ago: *more panick*
Why?
@@iamedyson that's what I like to see
Lol im also panick
I was not sure if we have solutions to these exponentially increasing "problems" yet... I felt that way six months ago since then I've gained reasonable hope in some of our efforts (there are people "coming up with big ideas" like colonising mars which could lead to many new and better jobs how fast we investigate the merit and welcome these solutions could be a deciding factor)... needless to say the consequences of ill treating this situation could be devastatingly detrimental for many generations, that's enough to get the best of us to panicked but I've since come to realize how level headed we need to be in our approach .
*Don't panic and decrease your future shock.*
If profits wouldn't be harbored by a few people, having less work could actually liberate humanity. Everyone could be an artist as we would have produced cheaply goods such as food
The perfect example of machine learning is--- I love his videos. And most of the time I watch them for hours in a row. Now I realized that I am watching too many videos at a time that now my brain just can't take it all. Now I want to change the subject a bit. But now most of the time I just cant find'em. My phone just shows me his videos in the homescheen
Schools should show these videos, they are really well done and teach a lot.

The video is so good your teacher can't think of a way to incorporate it to her lesson, or maybe she's just lazy to do the extra thinking.
The immune system video was shown in my health class.
Had to stop midway to say your videos are getting more gorgeous by the iteration. This one is simply breathtaking. And the thought put into each animation is so deep and subtle that it's a lesson in efficiency in and of itself.

This is where he tells us that his animation is now being done by a machine learning program.
"Could be a huge opportunity to reduce inequality" Hahahahaha. Good one Kurzgesagt. Good one.
The place I work has been collecting vast amounts of data for decades. Everyone always says we could use all that data to do so much cool stuff, but taking that step is so difficult with so many barriers. I guess one day it will happen, but the task is considerably more complicated than anyone is willing to take on.
What place is that if you don’t mind me asking?
HERE IS THE MATH: This video took them at least 900 hours to make. Their team consists of 12 people. This video has 3.1 milion views. Assuming every hour only 3 people worked on the video for a total of 900 hours, for every hour of work they got about.. 1150 VIEWS PER HOUR OF WORK So about 1.2 $ per hour of work (-electricity, -editing programs,...) THINK ABOUT THAT WHEN YOU WATCH ANOTHER REACTION CHANNEL O.O
FearedSpider they also get money from patreon and other advertisements.
UnbEaTabiL pErson yea but that's still not much :(
actually it is quite a lot
@FearedSpider What does your analysis mean?
Justin Egwudo it means that if you or me sacrifice like 2 hours to make our KZhead video and it gets like 20 views, we shouldn't be discouraged because we in reality didn't put much work into it at all. This just proves if you want to be successful around here, you can always be, you just have to work really hard at it.
Here's a thought: The only reason we need jobs is because we need money to buy stuff. If automation comes to a point where we can produce things ridiculously cheap, would we still need to have jobs? My point is, the industrial revolution liberated a lot of minds to pursue art and other interesting things, what if the information revolution liberated us all just to enjoy life and do the things we are interested in just because we enjoy them? I know this may sound utopic right now, but that's probably how people thought about free time before the industrial revolution.
First we get off the need to hunt/plant. Now we get off the need to work/labor. But we need a birth control for the future.
Why would the owners share profit of this cheap form of labour? Minimum wage did not keep up with inflation rate.
It makes MORE sense if we didn't have any form of currency anymore in the future! and everything would be free and automated. You can do anything you want anytime!
What you're describing is called a "post-scarcity" economy - think the Federation from Star Trek, courtesy of their replicators, or the Culture from Iain M. Banks' novels. A limited version of it might well be something that exists in the semi-short term (by, say, 2100 ish) but it seems unlikely at the moment that any of our current institutions would be able to survive the run up to it.
Funke Motor communism ftw
Man I’ve wanted to be an artist since I could hold a pencil, just as millions of humans over thousands of generations have. Today I am finally at the age to attend an art school and now for the first time in history I have to deal with the possibility that a god damn computer could do my job better than me. Like what are the fuckin odds. I might not even get a chance
Same, but in another field. And it’s not just a possibility, the technology is already here.
@@littlestewart damn which field
I think we will get rid of ourselves in the future. Maybe thats a great filter: dont automate too much because you will lose control and forget some skills that once were necessary to survive and evolve.
The original idea of creating machines was: "We won't have to work anymore." But the money as a reward system is still running. Nonsense.
Well I think money still makes sense. It's a shame that worker productivity has been growing steadily for a long time but wages have been stagnating since '75. It won't be long before we'll have to implement something like a basic income if automation keeps advancing at the exponential rate that it is. We still need some way of encouraging people to run society and I think money is much better because it's a positive incentive rather then have society be a command economy. Eventually with automation society won't need people running it to operate smoothly so then I think it would make more sense to abolish money. Even then though... I think money is good for rationing resources so one person can't say "I want a castle made of diamonds" or something like that and resource based bureaucracy would be needlessly complex I think.

nifoa dsa ya but in his bio it says "1 video per month quality>quantity"
unless a machine can produce a better video faster
zzanzare. true but animation is very complex so the quality will either very bad or it will take longer... till we develop good animation robots
Daniel Macintyre nifoa dsa was saying that an AI would be able to produce videos at the same quality at much higher speeds.
ShurikenStudios true but it is still a complex task that will take lota of years ro innovate in machines
Hey guys, I'm back. The lads who run the Stable Diffusion AI system are demoing an AI that can write computer code and I'm kinda worried about it.
skynet noises me: oh no
Off grid communities have become more widespread globally as rent increased. So serfdom is future
We have AI robotics working in our hub at UPS. They carry bins around our warehouse for us and are all completely automated in the way that they drive around the building and navigate around workers and other robot trains. With that being said, however, it’s still hilarious to watch it come to an excessively grinding hard stop anytime a worker steps in their path lol
Imagine if they identify laughter as a desirable behavior for morale or whatever, and start doing things like that on purpose.
It's honestly scary. The walmart distribution center near me is completely automated. Older warehouses are going to need to integrate automation, but newer warehouses are being designed to take full advantage of it.

That's actually a pretty good idea, you own a robot that works for you (because only robots will work) and you get paid for their job. You will, basically, own a part of the production process and that's why you will get paid.
@Froggy Noddy Well...thats a different story for the feature times...
Froggy Noddy And you need almost 40% for resources and to operate them and maybe 10% to maintenance (if gg doesn’t cover it for you.)
And a huge part of the problem is that no one is being compensated when their data is harvested and used to train these machines. Not only are they winner-take-all markets, but the dividends of that productivity, due to the way our laws are structures, go to a handful of people, even when that productivity was obtained through the contributions of many.
Some would say the workers weren't being completely compensated even before machine learning was here.
Well, the workers are getting paid so at most your argument is that they aren't payed enough. But even if you increased their pay it wouldn't solve problems in the long run as they would still lose their jobs.
@mrkiky It isn't just "at most", that is exactly the argument being made. There's been several economic theories for alternatives to job-focused capitalism, and most of them make an argument for the working class demanding more control over how production is handled. And yes, increasing pay wouldn't solve the issues inherent to work vanishing, but pushing for DemSoc policies with the goal of eventually implementing AnCom would ease the transition to a job-minimized society.
Unless you have to feed a family you have the opportunity to buy some stocks - don't breed - invest.
Yang 2020!
I've just read the conclusion of the paper that Kurzgesagt links in the description: "Our findings thus imply that as technology races ahead, low-skill workers will reallocate to tasks that are non-susceptible to computerisation - i.e., tasks requiring creative and social intelligence. For workers to win the race, however, they will have to acquire creative and social skills." Creative skills. LMAO.
Needs a update.

Ty, you're selling yourself a bit too high.
Does that mean that we can leave most (if not all) work to machines and have a bigger part of humanity invested in further innovation and reasearch? I guess we would be supporting the machines, and not the other way around. But still, have we considered that option?
Thanks for all your work on the video

Great video, like always! However, project management tools like the one referenced may just replace resource managers. Effective middle managers should be domain experts, proficient individual contributors, trained in conflict resolution and career development, etc. Not that all these can't be automated in the future but I don't think a plug-and-play network of freelancers will be the big answer for every company.

Maybe it is time Mankind evolves to a society like in Star Trek without classic Money-Job System ?
And what will prevent people from stockpiling things. And if there are for example three computer who would have wanted the worst one if he can have the best one for free.
star trek is post scarcity there is no worse computer you can produce everything with the same easiness you copy and paste files.
But people specifically like to be different from others, and it would be a waste of resources to design everything the same. You also have to decide who gets to live where. Which will not have the luxury of abundance. These are all limited resources. How do you decide without some sort of currency or merit based system?
agree, no idea how it'll work though.
It's not that people want to specifically want to be different than others, it's that they're taught that through modernism via ads and television. If people are taught that we're all the same, nobody would care much to be "different".
This would actually be a good thing if we provided basic food and healthcare for everyone, which we could do with all the saved money.
