Political Commentator Lee Jong-hoon Releases 'Dreaming of a Thought Nation Part 2'

Political commentator Lee Jong-hoon announced on the 27th that he has published an e-book containing South Korea's future vision titled Dreaming of a Thinking Nation Part 2.

In Part 1, the commentator defines that the era of human labor is coming to an end due to the widespread adoption of robots and artificial intelligence.

He presents one possible alternative in a situation where labor-free humans are being mass-produced.

That is the 'Establishment of a Thinking Exchange.'

This idea stems from the prospect that future humans are likely to return to their original form as Homo sapiens and ultimately remain as 'producers of thought.'

In Part 2, he first takes a detailed look at the process and consequences of job displacement caused by robots and artificial intelligence.

Above all, he explains based on data that mass unemployment will occur at a faster pace and on a larger scale than expected.

He addresses the immediate need for developer retraining and other measures to prepare for this situation.

Even in a scenario where jobs are generally decreasing, there is an indication that demand for creative talent will increase.

He also emphasizes the necessity of introducing a robot tax and basic income in relation to job loss.

He analyzes that the reason capitalists advocate for the introduction of basic income is ultimately to sustain the market continuously.

He contemplates how our lives will change in the Thinking Nation and the resulting shifts in social values.

Basically, the author concludes that society will transform from one of 'equal opportunity' to one of 'equal value.'

Finally, he predicts how welfare and administrative services will change through professional insights in a 'equal value' society.
