    That’s not new. Look at any modern assembly line - should we focus on getting more humans back in there so they can do mind-numbing work eight hours a day?

    We obviously need to put a lot of effort into making society work for everyone. But sticking your head in the sand and refusing progress is counterproductive.

      We should focus on planning the economy, and until we can do that, we need to let people keep their jobs.

      The weavers had to be suppressed with the military when the autolooms came for their jobs, now imagine if that’s every job in every sector in every country all at the same time. There is a tipping point where job losses outpace job creation, and then people start picking up guns.
