We are governed by a pernicious, antisocial, geriatric group of parasites.
Most people are really excited for everyone else's jobs to automate, just not their own.
Everyone wants stuff to arrive a little bit faster, a little bit cheaper on Amazon without realizing it means automating the ports.
First, the reason the future of work is such a ridiculous discussion right now is because none of the economists understand AI and none of the technologists understand labor economics.

That is a good question that not enough people ask about everything that they're afraid of, actually.
We are wired as humans, and the disclosure here is I'm not a behavioral psychologist, but I'm going to tell you what many behavioral psychologists would say.
Most of what any human believes is they are predisposed to believe.
So most of actually what you experience, and this is a little controversial, actually comes from genetic predispositions.
Your ancestors passed you a bunch of beliefs and biases that are inherent in your DNA.
And then you have lived experiences that compound those things.
And a lot of people actually from a very young age, their lived experiences either confirm or slightly tweak what it is they're predisposed to believe.
But of the 180 cognitive biases that we have, there are a few that are really powerful.
One of them is a confirmation bias.
So we often see things that we already believed and they reinforce what we believed.
They confirm or reinforce our ideas.
One of them is a negativity bias, and the negativity bias served us a long, long time ago, and actually to some extent can still serve some people today, especially those under constant physical threat.
The negativity bias tells us to look at something as though it can harm you even if the chances are low, and the negativity bias is the thing that plagues a lot of the people who are most cynical in your life
