I work as an engineer for a fortune 50 company outside the US in an industry that is as subject to automation as it gets. Real people are directly concerned with the immediate future and have little to no actual science literacy - you have to take it in your heart not everyone is like you and chances are some of them will actually adapt alright to things as they take things as they are and adapt accordingly. Most will indeed get recked by our ever increasing computational prowess but the real question is how young people like you (I mean, you have to be) will act knowing what's at stake.

Be compassionate.
