There is a significant difference in a population of 70 million educated workers who need to be maintained for high performance and 400 million low skill workers who are highly replaceable.

I am trying to make no judgement here, just explaining then 'motivational environment'

This math of course is in flux to a degree we haven't seen in maybe 1000+ years though right now.

> 70 million educated workers who need to be maintained for high performance

But what if AI surpasses human skill and now you have need for 0 educated workers. Not good for human citizens...
