True. I'm not saying a huge segment will become obsolete. They'll only find
short-lived niche jobs lacking a steady paycheck forcing them to endlessly
look for work, going from job to job to job. The rest will become homeless
but most will go the information/research career route and the niche jobs
will hopefully be only for the fringe.

Let them eat cake. :) No, there would be a rebellion so we must develop
memes to cram more info into the shallow minded. How about a Stacker meme to
run on the brain and compress information? :) Here is an idea. We should
list all the things (ie. trances) you can do by concentration and thinking
as well as techniques that make memes highly contageous (sp?) and then
create a meme such as the Gaia theory with an extropian twist to spread
extropianism like a religion across the globe. Could work!
