You have to adapt and grow or else you’ll wither.

Agreed, but we now know that as people age it becomes increasingly difficult for them to learn new things. This is a basic function of biology and how the brain ages.

Due to automation, change is happening increasingly quickly, more rapidly than many people can adapt to. People are being left behind, which has pretty serious social and political implications.

That's why it's quite important when you do get that high paying job to bank a large percentage of your salary into income generating assets. It's basic diversification of income streams.

Exactly this.

It is the Low and Middle Income that gets squeezed if they are not already squeezed enough. And you will be surprised how many of them wont be able to adopt.

And I am not surprised it would be hard for anyone working in Tech to understand, because I have come to the conclusion most of the so called Middle Class Income group around the world mostly shrank to Technology Sector.
