> There's an argument that neither do most jobs Agreed, lets not add to that pile of useless jobs

  So what's your plan for people who currently have those "useless" job that need them to provide for themselves and their family? I'm all for getting rid of bull$hit jobs to allow people to pursue meaningful, creative work. And while a lot of people laude the automation aspect, I don't see many proposing ideas on how to close that gap.

    You realize I fully agree with you, right? I'm not sure what you're arguing for.

      I think you're having a different "argument". My original post is about rejecting the false dichotomy that automating away manual jobs is inherently good and automating away knowledge jobs is inherently bad. But you chimed in to make the case that knowledge jobs aren't at risk of automation. I don't agree with that latter point, even if it's digression from the original one. Because I disagree with it, I was asking you to elaborate on what you'd suggest for those knowledge workers who eventually get displaced? To use a glib example, do we just tell every lawyer "learn how to plumb"?
