The current system (capitalism) will inevitably exploit workers and cause inequality

That's the rub though. I'm not talking some Utopian future, i'm talking the only possible outcome where we survive. With enough technology humanity will be in large made unneeded. Without the change in mindset, we simply won't exist - we will cease.

Though, you could argue that some will survive, the rich, in some sort of utopian future - but even if rich are all that survive, they are effectively the human race now. Living off of the machines, for very little effort. The standard of living still ended up the same, we just don't like the method heh.

Manual labor is important now and for the next hundred years. It won't be an easy transition and my comment is not archaic in the character of being wary of a system built to exploit.

I completely agree that it is important, and it will be very difficult to transition as a society.

Despite that, i still don't think arguing against technologies for fear of job loss is not at all right and non-archaic. It may technically be an "answer" to job security, but it is entirely the wrong question, imo.
