Using IQ in the abstract sense, I am suggesting instead that we can automate any job that someone who is 70 IQ now, possibly 80 IQ, and that there are very few jobs where it would be more expensive to automate than hire them. Those jobs (Agriculture, light manufacturing) have largely been outsourced or automated, and those that have been outsourced are largely in the process of being automated now.
These people will not suddenly be able to get jobs in IT.
Now, I'm not saying that automation is bad, but I am saying we have a structural unemployment situation on our hands and we are going to have to figure out something.
