RE: Automatic for the People
With increased global communication we are indeed seeing a disappearance of local culture. But that would be expected from the globality of mass communication alone. On the other hand, cultural differences arise on a different basis when people interested in similar things can communicate over long distances.
I think that it will expand interests to a point and then eventually stagnate or turn into virtual worlds where skills are illusion.
That's possible. What would be left after the outsourcing of all intelligence and virtue would be an infantile, reactive and self-centered core. :D
Politics?
Something like that but confined to a sandbox limited to things like dog poop along footpaths with all serious matters left for the AI's to take care of.
