Building for the future is great! Except for one small, very tiny, itsy-bitsy problem. We humans are very bad at understand the second and third order effects of events. Really, really bad. First order consequences: "Oh we don't need people anymore". Do I know the second order effects? Probably not. But at least I know they will be there.
