I thought his answer to the second to last question was interesting. Basically that the automation storyline is vastly overdone. That automation taking away jobs has been happening for 200 years, and the rate of job loss is probably slowing if anything because the jobs that could be taken away from automation were automated away long ago.
I never thought to question the assumption of automation being the huge story it’s been predicted to be.

- nickgrosvenor 7y agoThe idea is irrelevant to his personal situation. Doesn’t make it any less true or more true. It’s just interesting.
