It occurs to me I forgot to acknowledge a few sore points. Let me do so on my own, before anyone calls me out on them.
The transition to the future is going to suck for a lot of people who make their living in the old system.
What the new system produces will not be the same goods that the old system produced. We mostly wear mass-produced clothes, for instance, not garments made from hand-woven textiles, even though in some ways the hand-woven textiles are much better.
