That&#x27;s very much an oversimplification - in pre-industrial society the majority of labor was involved in food production. At the current scale of farming, I don&#x27;t see this happening.<p>The article is very poorly written, but I think the concern it is trying to hit on is what happens to the economy when too many jobs are automated out of existence and the overall employment plunges.<p>Personally, I&#x27;m optimistic that the society will adapt, as we have adapted to the industrial revolution, but we need a healthy debate to do so.
