There is considerable anxiety and scarcity mindset surrounding the issue of the mechanisation of our work: What if robots take over our society? What if we become dispensable as a human workforce? What kind of jobs will be 'spared'? And what will this do to equality? Will the rich get richer?

Change is happening. And in my view, this is the main reason the world is in such disarray right now. The political gridlock we see today is the direct result of radical change. Half the world sees value in going forward, and the other half wants to turn around and go right back. We’re facing an actual paradigm shift, not unlike the start of the Industrial Age, which is something new in our lifetime. We’re scared because we sense that our skills are inadequate.
