I don't understand how people so smart can be fooled by the idea that automation will permanently take jobs away from the economy.
Jobs will shift, but thinking we need cash handouts for people to live on (because all the jobs will just POOF, disappear!) is just naive. Just as farmers & bowling-pin-setters found new jobs in the past, taxi-drivers will find new jobs in the future.
Zuckerberg is right that people should be more entrepreneurial, but I see no reason why the labor transformation we're undergoing now will reduce overall jobs in the market. It never has.
