Fred's assuming that, unlike past automation revolutions, new and unexpected human jobs will NOT be created this time.
He may turn out to be right -- but not necessarily from the reasons he cites. Rather, it's because civilization is in a weakened state, and acts like it doesn't have, or doesn't want to have, the resilience it once did. A paradox, considering the phenomenon of the robot revolution.
He also points out that we have an unusually high number of people not in the work force. That doesn't bode well either.
