"Technology is what creates growth, and those who refuse to learn the new technology deserve to be left behind." You might be right, but it doesn't matter what people deserve. Unfortunately, you may find that those that are left behind will cause untenable social unrest. If job automation outpaces re-training by too great a rate you can kiss civil society goodbye. No one can hold automation back, but we can work to smooth out the anticipated pain. No matter how optimistic you are about growth, we need this spaceship to hold together!
