We are increasingly looking at an economy that requires less people to do it,/ in case you haven't noticed. So yes, I do question that. We can't all work in an Amazon warehouse shipping things to each other, because that will become more automated as well.

That's not new.

I ask questions, you respond with faith. I don't know why because change isn't automatically positive.
Of course it's not, but we know things that we didn't know before, such as:
1) Less human labour is a permanent trend
2) If we don't do something collectively, there will be huge risks
3) The economic gains from these changes are real, but not naturally spread to all of society

I did answer your questions, but I can no more be expected to answer specifics than the displaced blacksmith could have predicted the Interstate, McDonalds, or the Drive In movie.
