On this episode of the Epoch Podcast, we discuss the future of employment when automation is set to take over almost 50% of current U.S. jobs sooner than most people realize, and why we think that's ultimately a good thing.

Topics we get into:

* The surprising speed at which automation is taking jobs and how much bigger it is than most people realize* Why this is potentially different than in the past* Is "learn to code" really a solution?* How the "pool" of employment evolves* How minimum wage increases ultimately hurt employment* The kind of culture automation promotes and the benefits it offers* The cost to benefit ratio of increased efficiency with potential loss of human connection* Are creative jobs safe?* Why jobs are actually a bad thing* Why Millenials are the right generation for these changes* Why Universal Basic Income has merit* Why big business is necessary for progress to some extent right now* The downfalls of capitalism and moving toward a future based in collaboration* How understanding of purpose and identity are evolving* The potential of traditionally unpaid work becoming more valued* The needed shifts in education* Approaching it all as a threat or opportunity, with a mindset of abundance or lack
