Irebelled against the king of the genii. to punish me, he shut me up in this vase of copper, and he put on the leaden cover his seal, which is enchantment enough to prevent my coming out. then he had the vase thrown into the sea. during the first period of my captivity i vowed that if anyone should free me before a hundred years were passed, i would make him rich even after his death. but that century passed, and no one freed me. in the second century i vowed that i would give all the treasures in the world to my deliverer; but he never came. in the third, i promised to make him a king, to be always near him, and to grant him three wishes every day; but that century passed away as the other two had done, and i remained in the same plight. at last i grew angry at being captive for so long, and i vowed that if anyone would release me i would kill him at once, and would only allow him to choose in what manner he should die. so you see, as you have freed me today, choose in what way you will die. –“the story of the fisherman,” andrew lang based on the evidence in this text, what is the best inference about the genius’s motivation? he is motivated by the kindness of mortals. he is motivated by vengeance for how he was treated. he is motivated by his power as the king of the genii. he is motivated by his declaration that he is a generous being.

Explanation:

c.to compare several aspects of the tragedy to other worldwide tragedies

yes as the core issue is an ever increasing majority of human workers   will become permanently unemployed as ever cheaper ever more intelligent automated machines inevitably replace more expensive human workers with each passing year.

economic growth now and in the future requires that fewer jobs are created for human workers. this is the desirable inevitable consequence. the automation of the jobs of human workers is the most profitable economically productive activity on the planet.

so as a global society we need to have a plan to deal with this inevitable change.

automation has been, is and will always be a friend to human society if human society on a global basis is prepared to deal with the inevitable consequences.

what is key is that automation killing all jobs is only a matter of when not if.

the real question is can we get past the now invalid assumption that most humans can work for a decent wage going forward.

i spent my working career increasing automation and increasing efficiency. this consequently reduces the hours worked by humans while increasing the output economic goods and services at an ever decreasing price.

why not have ever cheaper ever more intelligent automated machines create the vast majority of required economic goods and services as opposed to human workers?

why not have most human workers working less and retiring earlier?

there is much more to life than working forever.

fortunately, automation has been going on for decades and will continue as an irreversible process as ever cheaper ever more intelligent automated machines permanently replace more costly human workers.

i write this answer for the people that have an open mind and are not living in the past this is what i feel most effectively deals with the tractable issues that automation creates.

the question at hand is how we deal with automation going forward as a society.

automation is only a threat because society has yet to acknowledge automation is happening let alone effectively a having a plan to address it.

a conservative libertarian free market idea where individuals choose what economic goods and services are produced in the free market as the free market supply will respond to free market demand. this is not a centrally planned communist economy.
