It seemed to me like an elongated anecdote. I don't like the use of the word "overrated", but yeah. I liked the beginning, the chapter where the colonel tries to an hero and the final chapter. The rest is meh.

Section two states that about 275 million jobs will be created plus a possible additional 85 million jobs during this period, combining these numbers we get 360 million new jobs. However, in section 1 they admit that a low figure of 400 million jobs lost is likely, and a high figure of 800 million jobs is also conceivable. This would mean that either we will just barely not cover the amount of jobs automated away OR we will face a massive onslaught of unemployment. If you would read the second employment link, the Brookings institute fellow acknowledges that we will likely need to plan for a large amount of permanently unemployed workers
>ignores the climate study
>gives the libertarian meme answer
serious question for you: why on Earth would things be getting better if the biome is dying and how do you account for the 25-400 million jobs that will not be compensated for by the new industrial revolution? It almost seems like you're insane and just ignoring what I'm bringing up to you.

I'm going to read the other two articles later, now I'm going to sleep. Anyway, just two things real short real quick (nigga)
1- We don't know if automation is going to happen as you probably immagine It, or if it's going to happen on a massive scale at all. Just because it is possible to replace workers it doesn't mean it is economically advantageous to do so.
2- We actually don't have the faintest idea of what it's going to happen. Our predictions are all based on interpolations from past technological revolutions, and as you can imagine the conditions, considering that we now have globalism, the internet and a bunch of other stuff are very different.

>Just because it is possible to replace workers it doesn't mean it is economically advantageous to do so
flies in the face of what firms have done historically, more distancing
>Our predictions are all based on interpolations from past technological revolutions, and as you can imagine the conditions, considering that we now have globalism, the internet and a bunch of other stuff are very different
yes, things will be far worse. I gave you a study from two neo-liberal institutes McKinsey and Co and Brookings, those aren't even biased against Capital or automation or Globalism, they both commend those forces. Do the math 25-400 million people unemployed by 2030

>we do tho
Eh no, we really don't.
>flies in the face of what firms have done historically
Again, just because it is possible it doesn't mean it is profitable (even though sometimes companies choose automation in spite of it being unprofitable). The question you should be asking is: will it ever stop being unprofitable?
I'll read the other studies later, good night.
