Bob had one example that hit me. What if tomorrow there was a cure for cancer. Think of all the doctors and medical professionals that would be put out of work. Would we want the government to step in? It's absurd. 

What is really wild to me is how many people that should know better clearly don't. You can read Rand, Rothbard, Freedman, Sowel, Mises, and countless others and glean all you need to know to kill this flawed thinking. And yet, many on the right still don't get it.

AI, Automation, and the Human Advantage

Indeed.  Economic logic has not been broken, at all.

I have a phrase that works well with people.  I say, "Instead of worrying about the jobs that will be lost, think instead about, 'What can people now do instead to provide value to each other?'"

It puts the whole idea of "jobs" in proper perspective.
