34. It depends on your future outlook.

I want menial factory labor jobs to disappear. I see zero benefits to having people work in high-risk conditions or doing back breaking work. I yearn for the day when we have a universal basic income, universal healthcare, and economics powered by green energy.

This trend of advanced tech making jobs redundant started in the 70's, was masked by jobs switching over to the service sector in the 90's thereabouts, and got an uptick in the 00's. We don't help people if we deny what is happening around us, so yes we do have to adapt. Labor participation rates are falling, field work is scarce even on oil rigs which are automated. The technology that makes automation possible is the same technology that makes computers more efficient and has scientists pursuing projects and goals designed to improve the quality of human life, ideas deemed unthinkable or impossible just 2 decades ago. You cannot change the problem if we can call it that, but you can provide better solutions to the problem and this is where we differ from republicans - in problem-solving. The social dividend is more critical than it ever has been, yet Americans rewarded a man who said wages are too high to the Presidency.

We can't deny the singularity anymore. Exponential progress will happen whether we want it to or not. You cannot stop the development of intelligent systems, and the resistance to this reality means we end up focusing less on adapting and instead sow seeds of doubt and discord almost guaranteeing terrible outcomes because of obstinacy. In so doing we may even stymy developments that could solve difficult problems caused by our own follies. We must take control of our evolution not deny ourselves its promise.
