Preparing/conditioning today's young adults for the dystopian future, where all our jobs are being done by robots, and the elite class needs to warehouse the rest of us safely away in 2mx2m cells in gigantic concrete honeycomb dormitories, where we're given a TV and one Soma per day.

If anyone is interested, this is basically the first half of the speculative fiction story, "Mana" (https://marshallbrain.com/manna1) which has been posted here on HN a few times.

Yea, it seems every year we are moving closer and closer to some dark mixture of Manna, Fifteen Million Merits [1] and Elysium [2], where regular people no longer serve any purpose, and are simply warehoused somewhere to keep them out of the hair of the few rich elite.

I don't see automated everything becoming possible in our lifetimes, instead I see dystopian societal collapse due to climate shifts being much more likely.

To be fair, that sounds like any of the cookie cutter "luxury" apartment complexes I see coming up all over the place, right down to the inability to see anything other than your neighbors out the window.

How many "cookie cutter 'luxury' apartment complexes" do you know that house 4500 people? Let's forgo the absolute number, what about the population density?

94% of the residents won't have windows. Can you list any of these apartments that have that characteristic?

"Cookie cutter" apartment complexes are waaaaay nicer than this, including literally about 10X the square footage per inhabitant, and way more windows. Dunno what you're talking about.
