If 90% of the jobs are automated, than we could have x 20 times the number of doctors.
At some point, with AI and robot assistance, people could do surgeries on their self on their own.

Are you sure its a new type of lens? By a quick search pancake lenses were also present in the 70s.
I mean, yeah companies are trying different techniques to build better VR visors - but its not there are major technological breakthroughs in the optics research side

No way, camera sensors are and were too small in smartphones
What has improved was, as I said, the software post-processing those images - allowing even low quality cameras as those in phones to take decent photos
Lenses are the bottleneck when a high quality one, required for a good VR visor, costs 200 dollars each

Optics technology can't improve exponentially like raw calculating power
Look at cameras - lenses technology its practically the same since forever. What has changed was mainly software and whatever surrounds it.

Which branch of Islam allows drinking alcohol?
In Turkey most of the population are Sunni, which definitely prohibits alcohol (even indirect contact with alcohol, like people drinking it)
In fact most of the muslims in the world are Sunni
Only because people drink alcohol in Turkey doesn't mean that all Sunni in the world do it
Turkey is one of the rare Muslim countries in the world that went through a process of secularization where people are free to follow whatever religion they want and there are no laws prohibiting the selling of alcohol
For example during the Ottoman Empire there was a tax on alcohol introduced when many non-muslim people became Ottoman citizens - that tax was called 'tax on prohibited goods'
So people in Turkey are simply not following at 100% their religion and there is nothing wrong in that
