This problem dates back to at least the 1920’s. Google “technocrat” or “technocracy” and you’ll see what I mean. The more automated things become, the lower the value that human labor has. Sad, but true. The only labor that’s truly valuable anymore is labor that only a small number of people can do for which there is a great demand. The odd thing is that there is also labor that is not truly valuable to society but for which people get paid a lot due to the way our system is set up – a lot of government jobs, finance jobs, sales jobs, some management jobs, etc. I happen to have one of these jobs myself and always have. I am good at what I do and try to do my best to contribute to society but seriously, how long can this all continue?
