My father was a coal miner.

My father's father was a coal miner.

All I know is how to do coal mining.

And all I know is this mine down the street produces income for me to take care of my family.

And you're coming in here and say, we're going to take your income away.

We're not getting rid of coal.

I'm taking rid of your livelihood.

And you have no discernible skill set.

What you get is fear.

And when somebody doesn't feel seen or heard and they feel afraid that you're coming in to take something away from them, they're going to put up a wall and say, you cannot do that.

Right?

That's the same thing going on here, which is all the discussion is all the job that's going to take away.

All the things it's going to destroy.

Right?

And so what it's producing is fear.

And when you have fear, you have emotional reactions that have nothing to do with computers, nothing to do with algorithms, nothing to do with generative AI.

What it has to do with, at the minimum, is how I vote.

But worse, it can get people so afraid that they start lashing out in antisocial ways, sometimes as individuals and sometimes as groups, right?

And we are not talking about the social ripples.

We're also living in a world where the haves and the have-nots, the richest people and your frontline worker, the disparity is so great, right?
