Evaluating the argument

Society must take full advantage of automation without worrying about the people who are unable or unwilling to adapt themselves to fit the jobs we still need humans to do. Like it or not, life is about survival of the fittest, and some won’t make it.

Society should embrace the economic efficiencies of automation without leaving anyone behind: anyone who loses their job due to automation should be given whatever retraining and other support they need until they can fill one of the growing number of non-automatable jobs in the changing economy.

Society should embrace automation, but use the tremendous productivity it provides to ensure that everyone has the resources and leisure time they need to live comfortable, fulfilling, and meaningful lives while putting in much shorter work weeks than they do now (usually for much less reward).

While there are advantages of more automation, it also presents far greater threats to individual flourishing and to the social fabric of society. So, we must proceed much more slowly and with much more public deliberation than we have done thus far.
