I fail to see how paradigm shifts in technology that change the economic landscape is:

a) Anything new b) Frightening c) Disruptive

This process has been going on since the beginning of human history. The tedious jobs that no one really wants to do to begin with are always the ones being replaced. For example, I'm in school right now, but I work for a produce delivery company in the meantime. I would be perfectly happy if my labor was replaced with drones because in the end it means a better and cheaper service for the customer. The only reason that people come to fear a shifting economy is a handful of broken ideas. It requires a rigid individual mindset of fear. That is, it requires someone being in the state where they think "what else could I possibly do for work?". This is hogwash, every individual is capable of great work, and if anything, the plethora of tedious work is limiting people from accomplishing that great work. No one dreams of driving a truck when they are young. It's not emotionally and intellectually compelling to a single person doing the job, thus it's not the best application of people's efforts. Those people still have useful skillsets that can be applied in other areas in an effective manner. Perhaps for a truck driver that's within the context of managing the bookkeeping, maintenance, and logistics of a group of delivery drones. There is also this collective mindset of scarcity that makes people averted to technological shifts. People harbor the broken logic of "if these jobs disappear, there will be vast unemployment". Did that happen during the Green revolution when we were 90% farmers and most of farm labor was replaced by mechanization? Did that happen during the Industrial revolution when a huge amount of tedious labor in factories was replaced by similar processes? Did that happen during the rise of integrated circuits to all of the people who worked with math who suddenly felt like they were about to be displaced? The categorical answer to this has always been a resounding "NO". The elimination of tedious tasks creates new potentials and breeds new work that demands more creativity, adaptability, and expertise, while increasing overall productivity. This process has happened numerous times before. The only people that will suffer are the unprepared and unskilled, and I don't think anyone should be pandering to those who aren't putting in any effort when these changes will be a tremendous boon to the vast majority of humans.
