Don't believe the damn hype? Globalism has made labor cheap, but eventually, we will reach a peak and swing back towards isolationism. This will greatly influence the need for common language and culture as economies scale back and localize. It will also be a self-reinforcing loop of real economy job creation, increased productivity in the form of more goods and services produced, and new opportunity built on top for newer generations to reap. So long as humanity doesn't roil itself in total nuclear holocaust, we'll be fine. Eventually.

Also, automation is a meme. Humans are still profoundly more adept at adaptive reasoning, so much so that they many don't even know when they do it, yet the do it every day. Read books by Asimov. Essentially, if we ever reach a point where robots can adapt they same way humans do, they'll basically become human. They'll make human errors, be prone to logical and intangible miscalculations, and have an inconvenient consciousness that leads them to metacognition and all of the unproductive, emotional, and irrational thinking that it begets. Basically, the moment robots can think like humans (which many scientist's believe is the result of quantum phenomena that we are yet to fully understand), we open ourselves up to machines that are just as good at coming up with "good" ideas just as much as "bad" ones.
