I think you have a very myopic view of history. Things have never changed this quickly in known history. This is similar to how Anthropocene is killing of animal populations because they just can't adapt fast enough. Industrial revolution somehow made it through via interesting social and market manipulations; it's not clear what it'll be this time.

> Things have never changed this quickly in known history Reminds me of Alvin Toffler's warning that the amount of information was growing far too quickly for people to be able to assimilate it... that was back in the 80s, with no web, no Wikipedia, no Youtube... People will adapt. We're good at it.
