We should look at physical labor as the classical Greeks did. Only fit to be done by automatons.

I wonder what human attention will turn to if further industrial automation takes over. Science? Art?

as i was saying these people will continue to exist, some very much delusional, and so there will be some jobs for them, propped up by religious nutcases and other luddites. i am pretty sure you can still hire someone to deliver a telegraph. but on the whole it will be vastly changed within three decades.

i don't know nearly as much about farming as exploited but even just a cursory knowledge of the topic shows you're full of shit. you cannot just constantly nuke the soil with fertilizer, pesticides, and GMO and expect the same yield, year after year, with no problems
