If the natural state of technology is that there aren't enough jobs to sustain an economy, then our economic system is broken, and trying to preserve obsolete jobs is just preserving the broken status quo that primarily benefits the rich. Over time I'm thinking more and more that instead of trying to prop up an outdated economic system we should just let it fail, and then we have no choice but to rethink it.
Oh yes yes I'm sure that we will totally rethink our economic systems that's absolutely what will happen and it will totally result in the utopia you're dreaming of. I'm sure that will happen I'm sure it's not just the ultra wealthy noting how they can make even more profit whilst everyone else suffers can't be that I'm sure the government will do something we all have faith in that we know it's obvious that will happen
You think pushing the status quo is going to result in change? The sweet spot for the rich is to have everyone struggle while they enrich themselves, but not struggle so hard that it leads to an upheaval. We've tried patching up a broken system and it doesn't fix anything, it just slows the decline. I think an upheaval is the only answer, dunno when we'll hit the breaking point, but it will happen, it's inevitable. For the economy to fundamentally change it will require it becoming completely impossible to survive in the existing economy, otherwise nobody would want to risk a fundamental rethink of how things work.
