I agree. I think the coming change is much bigger than anyone is prepared to handle..
We are in a transitional period - the utopian endpoint of technology was always to perfect/automate so much that there is no need for humans to work (except on what you want to of course), but as we get closer we have no idea what society is supposed to look like in that world.
Politicians still promise jobs, the Fed targets employment, the entirety of society is built around the idea of working to make a living. Those ideas don't even necessarily make sense in a world of increasing automation - at some point if everything keeps getting 10x more efficient, there simply won't be enough jobs of any kind to go around.
It means a transition to an entirely different way of organizing society - we don't know what it will look like and its going to be a very bumpy ride.
