People and Things

Both of these are struggling for power, and right now it looks like things are winning. Because they have no feelings.

This is nothing new, but this struggle has intensified in the last 500 years or so, in the Industrial Economy. When Machines have become more powerful. And more intelligent.

How can people compete against robots?

They can (easily enough) but they have to improve the way they work together first.

But this seems nearly impossible.

Successful people became this way because they became like machines. And reversing these changes would be difficult.

In fact, impossible if they don't recognize the problem facing them.
