There will be three jobs in the future: quants, CEOs that employ the quants, and members of Congress. Everyone else will be lazy good for nothing takers for not having a non-existent job and deserve nothing more than to starve in the gutter. At least, that's how it's going to be in the US.

No, just robots. CEOs/politicians who control the robots, and people who do what the robots say and are provided with everything in return.

Quants don't create value, so without a healthy market a quant is powerless. Like a swimmer trying to swim in a dried-out lakebed. Thus the CEOs that employ the quants are also powerless.

I know tons of quants that create value. They just don't work in finance.
