I completely agree!
The reason I think this is an issue with thinking about is:
1. Logic and common sense make a good argument for automation eventually replacing all jobs.
2. Most arguments against this amount to "historically this never happened even when people thought it would". This is a weak argument for several reasons (the period we're taking about is small, there's no reason to think history has to repeat itself here, etc).
3. Many smart people think this is a problem, including economists, including people from other fields.
If this doesn't make this problem worth thinking about, what does?
