The future doesn't need you

People hear a lot of, you know these big ideas and big words about global warming, climate change, geopolitical cooperation, artificial intelligence, bioengineering, blockchain, knowledge economy, skill economy, and globalization and they are not there.
They are no longer part of the story of the future.
And I think that and I again this is an hypothesis.
If I try to understand and to connect to the deep depression of people in many places around the world, part of what might be going there is, people realize and they are correct in thinking that the future doesn't need you.
You have all these smart people in US and in China and they are planning this amazing future with artificial intelligence and bioengineering and global connectivity and whatnot and they don't need you.
So maybe if they are nice they will throw some crumbs, my way like universal basic income.
If you go back to the middle of the 20th century and it doesn't matter if you're in the United States or if you're in Germany or if you're in the USSR and you think about building the future then your building materials are those millions of people who are working hard in the factories, in the farms, the soldiers, you need them.
You don't have any kind of future without them.
And now fast forward to to the early 21st century, when we just don't need the vast majority of the population because the future is about developing more and more sophisticated technology like again artificial intelligence, bioengineering.
Most people don't contribute anything to that, except perhaps for their data and whatever people are still doing which is useful.
These technologies increasingly will make the people redundant and will make it possible to replace the people.
