I think the main thing is that we aren&#x27;t good at distributing the gains of this increased productivity, nor are we good at training people with the skills necessary to maintain the productivity.<p>The result is that the few people who do meaningfully contribute are tremendously overworked. They may make a lot of money but have no time to enjoy it, since they feel like they can never take a vacation or the whole thing will come tumbling down. Meanwhile, the rest of society is either languishing in poverty and unemployment or have to take soul-crushing, make-work jobs in order to justify someone giving them a paycheck.
