    This was exactly the problem that Charles Murray pointed out in the bell curve. We’re rapidly increasing the complexity of the available jobs (and the successful people can output 1000-1,000,000 times more than simple labor in the world of computers). It’s the same concept as the industrial revolution, but to a greater degree.

    The problem is that we’re taking away the vast majority of the simple jobs. Even working at a fast food place isn’t simple.

    That alienates a good chunk of the population from being able to perform useful work.
