95% of us used to labour as serfs on farms. 4.5% were technical trades. 0.5% noble class, 0.01% high elite. The industrial revolution moved almost 95% of people away from direct agrarian labour. We'll find ways. It won't be pretty in some cases, but we'll figure it out. | ||

I hope you're right but I think it won't be pretty in all cases. It's easy to forget the industrial revolution wasn't entirely positive for common people or for that matter the environment. | ||
