So because it's not their dream career it's okay to replace their job with a robot? That's what you're saying?
When has that ever happened when someone's job was replaced with a machine? That's a fantasy. What happens is they go home, spend months looking for a job, get kicked out of their home because they can't afford rent, starve and then take whatever they can for much lower pay because they're desperate and homeless. You must know this.
And that’s why I said the issue is the lack of UBI. Progress is moving forward whether we like it or not, Luddism can only slow it down and make us waste resources.
Instead of going against it we should spend that effort into building a society where you don’t need to work to live (or, at least not full-time).
