- jmathai 7y agoI don't disagree that it's inevitable. But I think there's value in slowing down this type of progress so society has more time to adapt. That's why I called out that the value added by self checkout stations is only marginal. Self driving cars, for example, will also disrupt many people's jobs but perhaps the upside of safety (if that turns out to be true) may be a reasonable trade-off to expedite its adoption. I don't know Andrew Yang's plan but it maybe just as reasonable.
- derekp7 7y agoI've often wondered about how to deal with a future where there is a lack of lower skilled work. After all, half the population is below the median when it comes to skill, IQ, or self motivation. I'm thinking that future education will need to focus more on teaching kids self motivation skills, and coping skills for picking up whatever is needed for the future workplace. Some people have no problem with learning new things, but for others it is a major chore.
