Betting against technology isn't a winning strategy in the long run. There's idea that I had first heard articulated in Sapiens: that the rules of society are shaped by the underlying technology (e.g. kings only make sense after agriculture).

We've been living in a society built around the 1920-1940s when we passed universal high school and labor union laws, setting up a scenario where companies needed human labor in factories and human workers could be compensated well as their companies succeeded.

If technology advances again it only makes sense that we would need to update the social contracts as well, as we have always done.
