6. But not even that though

There'll always be new careers but it's going to hit a point where they're increasingly specialized and harder to get to without a real length of understanding. And a lot of careers that are out there now that people in their 40's are retraining for will be gone in ten years or less.

And even the jobs that we used to consider simple manual labor jobs that would always be around are going to disappear.

As we've seen with climate change, humans - and Americans in particular - are not great at adapting or planning ahead. The desire for things to be as they always were with new perks is all we want. But it doesn't work that way.
