"This is the very justice that Plato investigated... that every human in the city do the work that is his by nature in the best way that he possibly can." Abu l-Walid Muhammad Ibn AhmadIbn Rushd (Averroes), On Plato's Republic
Machines and Cheap Labor
Many people are concerned that their job will be replaced by a robot, a program, or a lower paid worker on another continent. That could very well happen to them, for it happens all around the world. However, if people understand how intelligent their brains actually are, they will realize that they have the brains to rise to a different level, transition to a new career, or develop something new. If people learn to use their minds properly, they can excel in more than one way.
Plato did write that Socrates taught that the ultimate justice was the fulfilled excellent function of a human being, and Aristotle continued that investigation. But none of them meant that people should be reliant upon their family, employer, union, city, or society to give them a job. On the other hand, Socrates, Plato, and Aristotle emphasized both individual and group success. They taught that people should become enlightened together as friends starting from a common well-rounded education for both boys and girls (Plato's Laws, Plato's Republic, Aristotle's Eudemian Ethics, Aristotle's Nicomachean Ethics, etc.). Andrew Carnegie and Napoleon Hill improved this with the concept of Master Mind groups.
