"For one thing, if mechanization opened new vistas of comfort and prosperity for all men, it also destroyed the livelihood of some and left others to vegetate in the backwaters of the stream of progress. Change is demonic; it creates, but it also destroys, and the victims of the Industrial Revolution were numbered in the hundreds of thousands or even millions. (On the other hand, many of these would have been even worse off without industrialization.) By the same token, the Industrial Revolution tended, especially in its earlier stages, to widen the gap between rich and poor and sharpen the cleavage between employer and employed, thereby opening the door to class conflicts of unprecedented bitterness."
— The Unbound Prometheus
I believe the same will happen in the information revolution (aka the robotics, ai and decentralized finance revolution)

I've been married for 4 years. I don't understand how I managed to hold on for so long, because I don't love my husband and never have. He is wonderful, intelligent, kind, successful, very handsome. But before meeting him I was already in love with another man, the relationship with whom was like a typhoon. We were living on the edge. I have never loved anyone so much in my life and will never love again. But he and I had a huge fight. Usually always reconciled quickly, but here each went on principle, both went to work, did not notice each other. I cried all the time, but in front of everyone I said I didn't care at all.
