I don't know where you get your numbers from when you say most people. However the World Economic Forum:

By 2022, the total task hours completed by humans will drop by 13%.

(World Economic Forum)

Job loss to automation statistics suggest that 71% of total task-hours are currently completed by humans, compared to 29% that are done by machines. The study predicts that if current trends continue, in just four years the average will shift to 58%.

I believe stats suggest just during the pandemic alone over 60 million jobs were automated away in the united states. So, i find that weird that most people don't know. Losing jobs to automation you should probably know.

So i don't think it's misplaced. There is some ignorance. i have a family member that's a brick mason. I showed him a machine that can lay much more bricks than he.. Even with this plain right in front of his face and clear evidence he still won't accept it.. I just did a post the other week about a truck driver who doesn't believe he can be replaced by driverless vehicles although researchers came to his home and told him there are already companies that exist and in operation actually using them driverless commercial trucks.

So "misplaced" is not the appropriate word. The appropriate word is "focus". That they don't focus and i believe the reasons may be because they feel helpless. You gotta remember most people function with a helpless mentality. They don't want to solve problems . it's easier to hope it's out of their responsiblity.

Also we live in what a call a worker drone job economy. Where people are like thoughtless wireless drones that perform tasks without thought.. Most jobs we have are repetitive tasks jobs. Much like drones they won't focus on anything because their mentality is that of operating on remote control.

Now the other part is this isn't anything like qanon or conspiracy ...left wing propaganda.. Anyone with a brainii that operates their computer daily have to be aware of this. if you have operated a computer since the 90's like many many people. I find it difficult to be in utterl disillusion about technology. So is it that they aren't aware? or is it that they want this to be someone elses problem to solve? I think it's more of the latter.

Of course the most irresponsible people are our tech people and world builders. As they know this but they feel it's a good idea to create card games or blogging sites instead of creating lasting products and services that actually fulfill a real need and solve an actual problem. We don't need a way to create more small businesses. I think we're pretty good on that.

So i don't think it's misplaced i think i'ts they have no idea what to do.. or how to solve the problem. If they don't have an idea how to solve the problem it's probably not a good idea to bury their heads in the sand.

Most humans are idiots. Our workforce is mostly idiot based jobs. The people who do the jobs many lack skills. For many it's not going to be possible to cultivate new skills what do we suspect will happen to those people? Evolution? So for me it's irresponsiblity.

For people on the blockchain who have more vested interest than anyone else to create projects that are solutions for the world. instead of endless bubbles...The greatest benefactors generally do the most work in this area? I'd think.....if you're a tech giant and the result of your tech accomplishments create problems.. why not lead the way in solving those problems..

If you make up the top 1% of a crypto project and it's life blood depends on the people.. It's not the people you should first stir to an intiative. It always should be the biggest benefactor to lead the charge. So fi we creating poinltess blockchains and small businesses i feel it's our responsiblity to fix that. I also feel it's the responsiblity of the biggest benefactors to do the most. It's their golden goose that's the most at stake. why wouldnt they? waht i mean by that is creating projects that solve real human problems that humans need solved.. like automation.

Are you doing anything about it other than what most media outlets are doing.. LIke i don't know where you been looking.. I come across countless media outlets everyday speaking about automation taking jbos.. i don't know who exactly all these unaware people are.. I know there are people who don't know what to do about it.. However it's a difference in not knowing what to do about something and not knowing about the problem.

So what i'm saying in conclusion is maybe we should be working on actually doing something about it... As in actual method to deal with it efficiently as i think it will impact so many. It may even hit close to some of your homes.
