The CBS 60 Minutes feature entitled, Automated trucking, a technical milestone that could disrupt hundreds of thousands of jobs, hits the road, aired Sunday August 23 clearly indicates the future is arriving faster then we realize.

A quote from the CBS 60 Minutes feature demonstrates value of artificial intelligence in terms of greater productivity. Artificial Intelligent never sleeps or suffers fatigue:
"All in, each unit costs more than a quarter million dollars. Not a great expense, considering it's designed to eliminate the annual salary of a driver; currently around $45,000. Another savings: the driverless truck can get coast-to-coast in two days, not four, stopping only to refuel—though a human still has to do that."
How will trucking unions protect its members from self driving autonomous trucks powered by artificial intelligence? According to Wikipedia Jimmy Hoffa played a vital role in organizing the National Truckers Union in the United States of America.
In my freelance article entitled , Underestimating Exponential Growth is a Mistake, I made the following observations:

The future belongs to young people. Education in how to start successful businesses is vital in poor disadvantaged neighborhoods. Young people have more resources at their disposal to become successful today in whatever they choose to do in life then ever before in history. It takes time to build a successful business model. It can't be done overnight.
Job displacement due to an accelerating rate of scientific and technological returns creates disability in terms of individuals achieving success in life by accomplishing Gods Divine will on earth. Time dedicated to performing a job , such as a printer tradesman, could have been better used to start a corporation that may have become an international conglomerate. An individual can never get that time back.
The world is changing so rapidly that more work has to be done to help people catch up. It takes a lifetime to become a quantum physicist. Most people cannot move to silicon valley to work in computer coding.
Thanks to my advocacy the National Science Foundation is working to prepare society for a quantum future, including plans for an educational curriculum to prepare children for a career:

Most manufacturing environments demand intense high speed strenuous labor. When an individual gets older as human beings they are less able to engage in intense physical labor. Inflammation is a serious life threatening medical condition leading towards high blood pressure and cardiovascular heart disease as well as other crippling diseases. Hence, human resources professionals must focus upon helping employees device an individualistic career path whereby employees move into administration and managerial positions when they get older. Dr. Kai Fu Lee, a computer scientist working at Google purports that in the next decade over half of traditional employment opportunities are going away. Human resource and education professionals must develop a plan of action to help people avoid technological unemployment as human civilization moves toward the singularity.
When a human being is ploped behind the wheel of a big rig for long hours everyday for 35 years or more the work of driving takes a homogus toll upon the neuromuscular skeletal system of the human body.
Yet from the quantum perspective the benefits of artificial intelligence to the overall economy are immense. The quantum perspective as a philosophical frame of reference attempts to forge synergy or synchronicity among diverse interest within the general population. As we move forward to the singularity the key to successfully adopting new technologies is to help people who become victims of displacement accrue benefits of an accelerating rate of scientific and technological returns.
The efficiency of driverless trucks powered by artificial Intelligent systems that never sleep nor get fatigued that deliver goods across America in two days versus four days will greatly improve supply demand chains. When retailers buy goods at wholesale prices
and sell in bulk quantities then retailers can offer discounts to consumers. Discounts to consumers as a consequence of increased efficiency in supply demand chains can potentially lower costs of living. Profit margins of retailers are still maintained relatively high when goods are sold at lower costs in bulk quantities due to selling more merchandise at retail prices.
When the cost of living is reduced due to greater efficiency in supply demand chain networks from driverless trucks powered by artificial intelligence that never sleep then more people have greater opportunities to pursue happiness. The pursuit of happiness as an inalienable right declared by the Declaration of Independence is defined as either saving lives and/or adding significant value to other people's lives. The more people engaged in either saving lives and/or adding significant value to lives of other people the better the economy and higher Gross Domestic Product ( GDP ).
Oftentimes, people nearing retirement move on to a second career when a career path reaches a dead end due to economic turbulence. Hence, the benefits of artificial intelligence to the overall economy can help displaced truckers move on to second careers whereby they can spend more time with family and friends, and do things that really matter in life instead of existing as a robot behind a wheel driving a big rig.
Unfortunately, since we live under the paw of evolutionary biology given a Cosmic mind has been hacked in the Garden of Eden quantum particlization of a simple beautiful economic model moves toward high entropy. Hence as a writer, philosopher, futurist, political consultant, and independent sales representative I propose a Non Governmental Organization ( NGO ) to provide oversight. God commanded, " Go forth and have dominion ".
The Non Governmental Organization I propose will be financially underwritten by establishing a new magazine start up dedicated to raising venture capital by advertising revenue.
In my freelance article entitled, Underestimating Exponential Growth is a Mistake, I proposed becoming a corporate partner with Tic Toc to formulate an economic model whereby internet telecommunications provide individuals greater opportunities to participate in supply demand chain networks. Tic Toc can potentially provide marketing opportunities to increase demand for consumer goods. Tic Toc end users may have difficulties pre arranging contractual business liaisons with corporate partners.

In my freelance article entitled, Competition for Scarce Resources to Meet Basic Human Needs Manifest a Psychopathological Survival of the Fittest Mentality that Equates Human Beings to Lower Animal Phylum, I made the following observation about helping individuals who have made a valuable contribution to society reap benefits from their labor as a lifetime of service:

The following are excerpts related to job displacement as we approach the technological singularity resulting in exponential growth:
Effective measures to combat poverty around the world do not include undercutting innate rights of individuals to build, create, invent, discover, innovate nor lawful rights to profit from engaging in these activities over course of a lifetime by accumulation of personal wealth. The fight against poverty is a personal individualistic struggle. Every individual on earth as a subroutine of a Cosmic mind is responsible for discovering how he or she can either save lives and/or add significant value to lives of other people.
An article published by Forbes Magazine entitled, Is The Gap Between The Rich And The Poor The Real Problem?, explores the value of capitalism within dynamics of ever increasing growing global worldwide collectivism within an interdependent international community.
https://www.forbes.com/sites/rainerzitelmann/2019/08/19/is-the-gap-between-the-rich-and-the-poor-the-real-problem/
The following is a insightful excerpt from the Forbes Magazine article entitled, Is The Gap Between The Rich And The Poor The Real Problem?
"The most obvious suspicion is that socialists, who are so myopically fixated on whether the rich are getting richer and whether the gap between rich and poor is widening, are more driven by envy than by any honest sympathy for the fate of the poor. If this wasn’t the case, they would not spend all of their time complaining about inequality and would instead focus on discussing the most effective measures to combat poverty around the world."
Brokerage houses equipped with artificial Intelligent systems that manage investment retirement security portifolios should lawfully insure an accelerating rate of scientific and technological returns should contribute to growth of accumulation of wealth over the course of a lifetime for individuals who have dedicated their lives to
building, creating, inventing, discovering, innovating otherwise the stock market will become nothing more than a gambling casino dedicated to redistributing wealth by underhanded disreputable dishonest business practices.
The future is coming faster than we think and we must all be ready. The following is an excerpt from the CBS 60 Minutes interview about how fast Artificial intelligence can think.
"Maureen Fitzgerald is convinced that tusimple's technology is superior to human drivers.
Jon Wertheim: You call these trucks your babies? What do your babies do well, and what could they do better?
Maureen Fitzgerald: This truck is scanning mirrors, looking 1,000 meters out. It's processing all the things that my brain could never do and it can react 15 times faster than I could."
Artificial intelligence can think faster than I can type. When Exascale computers give birth to evolution of a sentient self aware reverse engineered Superintelligent AI by discoveries in quantum computing then human civilization will undergo over 500 years of exponential growth in one year.
We must rededicate and renew our minds to the cause of continuing the work of Forefathers of the United States of America to accentuate value of being human as expressed in the Declaration of Independence and United States Constitution.
