&gt; In a sense, robots (automated machines) are the perfection of capital, where the ratio becomes arbitrarily high: human labour becomes decreasingly needed until it&#x27;s basically unnecessary.<p>Where is the evidence for this?<p>Your entire arguments falls apart when this isn&#x27;t the case.<p>As manufacturing moved towards automation, labor moved toward rendering services.<p>The number of jobs is highly correlated to the size of the population. We didn&#x27;t see a reduction in available employment due to automation. We simply saw a shift in the type of work performed, with jobs moving toward things that were more difficult to automate.
