re: The Great Stagnation

If something is routine, it will be done by a combination of computers and robots. So for 85% of the most commonly handled tasks, be it buying groceries, stocking shelves, driving a truck, healthcare, or legal advice, machines will get the job done. For the 15% of the time that they can't, you'll be referred to the human specialist. I don't think people realize just how disruptive this next wave of technology is going to be. The only thing that will hold it back is regulation and comfort level with not dealing with a real person that may take a generation or 2 to adjust.

And that's what's necessary for the advancement of society. At one point in our history over 80% of Americans were farmers. Now it is only about 2%, and our society didn't come crashing down.

God let's hope not. Now THAT would be catastrophic in the long run.
