What a gang of pessimists! Yes, there will be well paid jobs in the future. However, that is not the immediate problem. We need to spread the resources so everybody is given a fair chance to a life with no lack of the essentials. It is only one way to do so. To make sure people less fortunate will receive there benefit with a feeling of entitlement. Us old guys with another upbringing will have a hard time accepting it. It still is required. Then we need to find a reward system for those that take responsibility and initiative to move our society forward. I think that will fall into place more or less by default once we accept this new reality and our attitude has changed.
Seen away from meteor hits and other catastrophes - I am convinced we will move toward a better society. Perfect is still far away. The debate about feminism I refrain to comment on.
