The problem isn't that technological change is causing unemployment. It's that capitalism as a system cannot cope with massive increases in efficiency and productivity without causing major problems that need to be patched in precarious ways. The only way to maximize automation is to replace capitalism with a system where power does not funnel to the top, workers have democratic control over the economy, and the technological advancements we make allow us all collectively to work less and have more free time.

You really shocked me at the end of the previous episode by saying final episode next. Pretty sad reaching the end. Since there has already been a few years since this episode, maybe some extension to the content is prudent? Not a full season 2, because this series covered most of it pretty well. Just incremental updates apart from the AI course already available.

I can't believe I got emotional realizing this was the last of the series. So interactive, so packed-up, and very clarifying! While watching I contemplated the gravity of work that has been done behind scenes. Million thanks to you, Carrie Anne, for all your energy, geeky jokes and blazing language! Also to CrashCourse and anyone supporting! More of these please!

How is this cycle for a sci to plot? see humans die but machines are Imortal, however machines cannot stop laws of entropy and the end of the universe. So machines will have to figure out how to transcend the physical universe, through ethereal creations that can bring back the universe, gods.

This was an awesome series! It gave me a demystified view of computers from transistors up and inspired me to delve deeper into building something of my own. Thank you, Crash Course team!
