Great feedback - appreciate it.
I think the constant job changing is going to be really interesting one - because 1) it's already happening 2) it makes the tasks more ideally suited for eventual replacement by machines.
There's a lot of people out there in regular white-collar jobs who don't want to change - it will take a lot of work to make them change their mind on that (and some simply won't).
Unless we start to manage some of these future risks I think we're going to see a number of problems. Interestingly I think the easy answer (and the one we're already seeing) will be to blame the traditional ones (immigration, other people not like us). We're already starting to see this in multiple geographies.
