- Opinion | College Degrees Still Matter In the Job Market - The New York Times
- There is a reason college graduates earn so much more, and it isn’t just because they’ve got an extra piece of paper. The huge growth in the wage premium for college degrees reflects not state bureaucracies or corporate HR policies, but century-long economic changes that generate more jobs requiring the abilities and knowledge acquired in college. The broad education and targeted skills that college graduates usually obtain prepare them for career success.
- College degree requirements aren’t sacred. But they reflect the unmistakable reality that higher education helps people do well.

- Bon Curriculum Vitae

- AI will decimate any job that's "predictable"—which means nearly all of them. (artificial intelligence is almost here; perhaps by about 2030)
- The monumental task of dealing with the AI Revolution will be almost entirely up to the political left. After all, when the automation of human labor begins in earnest, the big winners are initially going to be corporations and the rich. Because of this, conservatives will be motivated to see every labor displacement as a one-off event, just as they currently view every drought, every wildfire, and every hurricane as a one-off event. They refuse to see that global warming is behind changing weather patterns because dealing with climate change requires environmental regulations that are bad for business and bad for the rich. Likewise, dealing with an AI Revolution will require new ways of distributing wealth. In the long run this will be good even for the rich, but in the short term it's a pretty scary prospect for those with money—and one they'll fight zealously. Until they have no choice left, conservatives are simply not going to admit this is happening, let alone think about how to address it. It's not in their DNA.
- The two most important problems facing the human race right now are the need for widespread deployment of renewable energy and figuring out how to deal with the end of work. Everything else pales in comparison. Renewable energy already gets plenty of attention, even if half the country (USA) still denies that we really need it.
