Q: Is the key to getting @Kasparov63 back on top over the robots just mumbling “education & retraining” with ever greater conviction?
Good for @AndrewYang for pointing out that “The key is more education!” is just a slogan not a plan. He’ll take real heat...but he’s on target.https://twitter.com/AndrewYang/status/1130486501517778945 …

You could’ve said the same thing when making the switch from farming to industry. There’s unlimited room in STEM.

I’d love to talk this through sometime Naval. My fear is that there is a big difference. I might rephrase and say “there may yet be unlimited room in creativity and discovery based areas, but repetitive occupations may be over...even in STEM.” But I don’t know if you’d agree.

We agree. STEM workers transfer repetitive jobs to software and robots. What remains is creative work and the demand for human creativity, in all facets of life, is unlimited.

The extent to which "people able to do productive creative work" is a group hard-capped by biology will be unknown for as long as virtually all young people are compelled to spend their most fruitful learning years doing exactly the sort of tasks we're on the cusp of automating.

That said, "education" is such a fat sacred cow that I expect >1 generations to come of age in a society that can't do anything with them. "Retraining" for creativity, style, play, lateral thinking, etc. is probably not impossible, but a 6-month bootcamp is not going to cut it
