People living longer can be expected to work longer, especially if we pay more attention to morbidity as well as mortality. Perhaps we just need to value some jobs more than we currently do. 2/4

And I really can’t fathom how simultaneously we supposedly need to worry about AI taking all the jobs and there not being enough people left to do the remaining ones. 3/4

A large part of what we are seeing is a great inversion, where physical jobs will gain in relative value in coming decades against office and mental jobs. This is counter to the experience of the last century, and disruptive. But once we accept it, esteem will follow job value. 4/4
