People claim that a large segment of the population will go hungry because they can't afford food, of which we will have a large amount.

1. Do subsistence farmers also die?
2. If nobody can afford anything, where does the demand that drives the infinite supply come from?
3. If your job is automated away, do your former customers save money? (Yes: once the market reaches equilibrium.)
4. If your job is automated away, do your former customers sit on the saved money or do they just put that money into their second highest priority?

The reality is that as we more efficiently meet people's needs, we drive down prices and cost of living.

As we drive down prices, it becomes profitable to employ people in easier and easier jobs. Previously, these easy jobs weren't profitable, but now that we have higher spending power (thanks to automation) these easy jobs suddenly make sense.

Without inflation, in 40 years people will be able to support a family and a mortgage by grinding for MMO gold because all your needs can be met with $30/month.

This one really hit home.

Is there an intuitive way to think about implicit differentiation?
If we differentiate x with respect to itself, then there's no problem. x will change with respect to itself.

But if we differentiate y with respect to x, then we need to add in some extra notation because we are saying y is changing with respect to something else.

Is there an intuitive way to think about this without complex jargon or notation?
