Agree with basically all of your points. I have huge concerns that the humanity of the future will basically split into two different species: the technocracy and the underlings. Sounds like science fiction but it honestly feels like we're headed in that direction. Even today, the privilege afforded by a life in technology and among technologists seems to set a person apart from the rest of the world to such an extent that they almost forget it exists. It feels like such a technocracy would have no moral right to exist. It can't really just be survival of the fittest, can it? I'll just keep believing (pretending?) that the answer is no.

I agree on your second point, but those in medicine, finance, or law enjoy similar salaries and quality of life to those in tech. Furthermore to really set yourself apart and join the global super rich you can’t really do that by selling your labor no matter your field.
