The Cost of Progress: Automation, Jobs, and Moral Dilemmas (feat. Chris)
In this episode, we explore the intersection of technology and morality in today's world. We start by discussing a scary workplace incident involving a jib crane and a near-miss with a colleague, highlighting the importance of workplace safety and the potential dangers of heavy machinery. Next, we shift our focus to China's innovative 26-storey high rise pig farm, discussing the benefits and drawbacks of vertical farming and its potential impact on the food industry. We then dive into the controversial topic of de-extinction, exploring the science and ethics of bringing back the woolly mammoth through the use of CRISPR technology. Moving on to the animal kingdom, we explore the tension between chimpanzees and gorillas and the challenges they face in coexisting in the wild. Finally, we tackle the pressing issue of automation and its impact on the job market, delving into the moral dilemma of whether it's better to provide jobs to a large number of people or to streamline operations with heavy machinery, and the implications for society and slavery. Join us as we navigate these complex and thought-provoking issues, examining the costs and benefits of progress and the difficult ethical questions that arise.
