Robots could wipe out another 6 million retail jobs

I quoted your text in my replies and responded to them explicitly.

I see that you responded to them explicitly, but as I said, your answers were irrelevant. I need you to slow down and actually read what I'm saying.

No it doesn't. You don't understand economics.

Your own video, twelve seconds in, says that it does. "An economy requires consumers." Currently the end consumers are all humans.

The point that Harari is making is all well and good, but it has nothing whatsoever to do with you pointing out that most businesses are B2B, which is entirely irrelevant to both his point and my point. No offense, but so far as I can tell you're the one who doesn't understand economics here. Yes, Harari presents a theoretical example of an economy that doesn't necessarily require humans, but that economy could not come into being on its own. Certainly the current economy exists to provide for human consumption, as Harari specifically says, your insistence otherwise notwithstanding. Downvote me again if you want.
