>>11144283>Useless humanitiesBut here's the thing, when people are freed from work, humanities won't be seen as useless, since you don't need to be educated in things like accounting, software engineering, Excel spreadsheets, people will be able to study the humanities simply for the love of learning, and the fact they're interesting, rather than to get a job. The whole point of removing jobs is that people can spend their time doing what they want, and for some that may be lying around watching Netflix, but big deal? I'd rather have millions of people reading philosophy, history, and watching movies than having them doing pointless work, because work is now seen as an end rather than a means.
Also lawyers and doctors are things that can be automated away with advanced enough technology. Doctors can be replaced AI that asks the same questions a doctor would, and matches your answer with a huge database of likely causes, and also with advanced scanners and sensors, and algorithms that detect abnormalities in breathing, x-rays, and the like, which will know the most likely cause and escalate it onto the next stage. Surgery can be done with robot arms and advanced software, which they're already testing. The majority of lawyers work is knowing the correct legal codes, applications and other technical work, which is all quite easily automated. The arguments in court are a very small part of the job.
There may still be human components to these industries, such as therapists and judges, but lots of important jobs can, and probably will be eventually taken over by AI and robotics.
