Ok I think we are fucked and even I can’t buy this level of acceleration. My movers today did everything on paper still. There are still paper businesses. This is why the tech bros and MBAs are buying them all, to eventually get rid of the people. But it takes time. 2030 too aggressive

Agreed that it’s off and with Tyler Cowen that the biggest barrier is people. I’d even say it’s naive & unimaginative. Naive to the diversity and complexity (let alone the economics) of currently “automatable” jobs that are still done by humans. And only 1/4 of white collar work? Please. Unimaginative for its lack of optimism, its inability to acknowledge that humans have a remarkable knack for inventing new problems, industries, occupations, etc. I think it’s more accurate to expect a shift in what work is done, how work is done, and who does it.

I believe elites to be hostile. No one in the top cares about the bottom. They are global citizens bound to each other; when rich people try to say “but it’s good for America to do [x]!” I remind myself most of them have multiple passports. They are not of our world I say this all the time but my optimism is reserved for 2125, 2225 and beyond Still, we won’t slip immediately into full blown technofeudalism by 2030 either!

I’m not *all* the way with you, but I think that’s within the realm of possibility. Also: safe travels & smooth moving!
