This Time Is Different: The Case For Technological Unemployment

There is a saying: technology always creates more jobs than it destroys. Historically, this did happen. Many question that, if this is the case, why would this time be any different?

In this video I lay out a number of reasons as to what makes this time different. One major one is something that I feel people overlook in terms of people's acclimation to technology.

Lol about the newspaper industry. I see my parents don't mind it as they reuse it later to prevent things from getting dirty. But I tend to just get everything digitally. The biggest issue I have is that I can't accept any article that comes at me as unbiased. I have to check multiple views since I can't trust them blindly.

I don't know what will happen but I do think more jobs destroyed due to automation and software.

More people should think like this. Many people believe and trust things blindly.

This should be actually good in long term.
Imagine reaching a point, when people do not have to work, because machines work for them, instead of them. Complete freedom.

For a lot of people's sake I hope you're wrong, because after the whole pandemic thing is over we could do without major societal changes
