I didn’t say tech, nor did I suggest there aren’t intelligent (sometimes even extremely intelligent) people working in trades etc. Nor do I think we need supergeniuses working at restaurants.
What I’m suggesting is that we shouldn’t have, increasingly, one end of our economy operated largely by 90-110 IQ folks and one end operated largely by 120+ IQ folks. Especially when the end operated by the 90-110 folks is the one that 99% of people are actually interacting with on a daily basis and when the 120+ IQ end has a propensity to produce extremely intense, near-zero sum competitions that drive the net value of their intelligence to near-zero.
