The economy is an adaptive organism that never dies.
During the Industrial revolution, 90% of agricultural workers moved to the factories. And the fields kept producing.
Then it came the computer revolution and factory workers moved to offices. And factories kept producing even more.
Then it came the internet revolution and office workers moved back home. And corporations kept producing more than before.
Then it came the AI revolution and home workers moved to the virtual world. And they kept producing even more. slop. but it sells.
We adapt. The economy adapts. Nobody dies.
People in the rust belt died. People laid off from their tech jobs died.
