Disruptions from robotic labor
I have had a thought on the issue of "Disruptions from robotic labor".
Macro-Hard or Digital Optimus is recent concern.

So, recently there was concern that our labor force would be insufficient due to low birth rate.
Now, it looks like robots may take many tasks over, and earlier on, a lot of "White Collar" work.
We could say, "Just train the white collars to do blue collar work". Well, some could and some might not do OK.
The projections of the future have a robot or a human doing tasks with the robots displacing the humans.
But what about a human "AND" a robot to do tasks? In some cases, this might work.
You then have four hands and two brains on the job. If the human wage is $30.00/hour and the robot cost is $1.00/hour, then the average is $15.50/hour, and you potentially have more hands/brains/muscles doing the work. If the robot came with a display screen it could teach the human parts of how to do a task like installing drywall, as an example.
On the other hand, the reformed white-collar worker might be useful to keep the robot on track with what it would do. The robot might be able to do the finer work of the task, and the human would be an assistive apprentice in some ways.
So, at least for a time, it might be possible to avoid large scale unemployment for humans where they contribute nothing to the economy.
Such a situation would be bad for them and also wasteful of the labor they may be able to provide.
By adding robots to the economy in this way also we can greatly expand the work force, and economic output.
A person might hire themselves out as a person and their robot that are used to working together.
Ending Pending

Is it possible that the root of political science claims is to produce white collar jobs for people who paid for an education and do not want a real job?
