If robots displace manual laborers, what’s to become of those workers who lack the intelligence and ambition to master the skills needed for those high tech jobs?

Was just being rhetorical.

The Democrat Party answer to that would be... Soylent Green!

Det. Thorn: Ocean's dying, plankton's dying... it's people. *Soylent Green is made out of people.* They're making our food out of people. Next thing they'll be breeding us like cattle for food. You've gotta tell them. You've gotta tell them!

Movie: Soylent Green (1973)

I believe some of the high tech jobs will still be doable - rote learned tasks - for people of average to low average intelligence. And I am all for jobs being created in industry for the low intel folk, lots of job descriptions include tasks that can be taken from a busy worker and given to people with Down syndrome or such, supervised and worthwhile.

You’d be surprised how seriously some in the intellectually disabled community take their jobs and how proud they are to do them.
