My pessimism has gone far beyond trusting the government. Also, ethically, do the disrupters not have a responsibility to understand, quantify and inform the disrupted, if not help them directly? This is a subjective question I think, each person will have their own preference here.

Ah, this is one of the foundational arguments I’m interested in. It focuses on the macro economic view of innovation. Now, who is concerned with realizing that distribution of wealth, how do you quantify it?

The historical trend is that innovation brings net positive impact over the long run, especially in areas like safe work, medicine, etc. I want to know about what goes on in between the disruption and once society normalizes and realizes the net benefit. And now does the rate of disruption impact this. Following a Moores law curve means that 5 years of innovation starting today doesn’t equate to 5 years of innovation in the 1920s. A question I should research and answer myself is in the history of massive changes in markets and workforces, what forces were at play, which, if any, were impacted by technological innovation. And also, what is the rate of innovation related workforce disruption in the past 5 years. Does it follow Moores law or some other curve?
