The underlying presumption behind this idea is if we abolish mundane tasks (easier said than done), we can give all more free time to people, and they most likely utilize this for the benefit of mankind. Give us just one reason to why it can't be turn around to become something like Deep Web 2.0? I know, they gave us Privacy Freakz, Whistleblowers, White Hat Hackers (pros), but I trust you remember Pedophiles, Hitmans, and Silk Road (cons).

Nobody deny the possible benefits, but in most situations, profit/loss is never zero-sum or symmetric (one side is more harmful than the other). So in the face of new things, first we must take consider the worst case scenario, 'cause for 'expecting the worse' we may gain nothing, but in 'hoping for the best' we may lose everything. In any case, those who talk about the problem of evil are not saying 'why there's evil in this world' but instead 'why the evil is more dominant'. "A complex system can fail in an infinite number of ways" John Gall declared, "and the larger the system, the greater the probability of unexpected failure". Or in another words, It's so much hard for anything to makes us immortal yet exceptionally simple to makes us dead. BTW, going the extra mile is worthless when we imagine about what ISIS, "Emam's Line", etc. can do with their new free time. Surely they will remove more people from the, according to their own terms, "page of location" & "page of time".

Furthermore, what will happen about Power Process? I hope you don't forget about what's revealed to our lord and savior, Uncle Ted, on the Mount Sinai? Verily to Him do we return!
