50% of occupations today will no longer exist in 2025: Report

[Warren DeMontague]

57. A conversation is certainly warranted.

What I think you are saying about consequences and technological wealth ideally benefitting everyone, to some degree at least, several authors I respect and like were talking the same thing in the late 70s early 80s. Much of what they prophesised about automation has come true, and as such their arguments still carry weight with me as well.

And it is undeniable to me that our political structures have NOT kept up.

Personally, I don't think it's going to end up in some techno-feudal nightmare. But I do suspect that whatever political or cultural steps are taken, both change and adaptation to it will happen more or less organically, although like the industrial revolution, there will be problems AND mass dislocations until things shake out.
