Nervous Habits host Ricky Rosen is joined by long-time friend and mechanical engineer, Stefanos Axios. They have a spirited and comprehensive discussion, spanning issues including:
--The jobs that automation will displace that humans currently have, and the jobs that will be created by the new technology…
--Why some jobs can never be able to be effectively carried out by robots…
--How the sex robot industry is shaking up the automation field…
--How the increasing amount of federal financial aid that is allotted to students has actually made college more expensive…
--Why a comprehensive student loan forgiveness plan would be an inadequate solution to a worsening problem, and finally…
--Why cryptocurrency has the potential to spread like wildfire in the coming decades.
