I recently began listening to your audios, so I don’t know if you have covered the topic of automation elsewhere but this is what I heard from a futurist, Gerd Leonhard that i felt like sharing. He said the machines are usually taking over jobs that can be automated. And these are usually the mindnumbing activities that a human in all likelihood should never be forced to do in the first place. Example packing, a box of candies all day long. While we may say that automation is taking away certain kinds of jobs from people, we can also say that automation is pushing people towards jobs that make them more human and jobs that cannot be copied in any meaningful sense by a machine or an AI. Example a language learning teacher. While there may be apps that cater to language learning, and I can attest to this, because I have tried many language learning apps, there are still areas where I feel the need of a teacher rather than looking up grammar points on Google all the time and not to mention the cultural points that only a human could teach us.
We're almost at the big man himself, keep up the good work David!

It's boring because of long introduction.
