I like your work and my children started watching you when you first started out. But this is a terrible response to this problem. Self driving vehicles will cause a massive increase in unemployment. And the thought that all these male, lower middle class high school graduates (who overwhelmingly are employed driving some type of vehicle) will just plop softly into jobs "installing photovoltaic panels" is ludicrous. Automation is truly the next "Big Thing" as you term it, but framing it as an unalloyed good is insane. Just ask any of the tens of millions of Americans who have lost, and will lose, their jobs as a result.

Thanks for doing this AMA - I've always been fascinated by carnival culture including medicine shows, geeks, freak shows, fortune tellers, etc. I think we see some of this culture in magic and specifically with Penn and Teller and similar - a little bit of pre-industrial or at least pre-WW2 America. Is it mostly gone now? Is the big carnival a Midwest thing? I never saw them growing up in Tennessee, only country fairs. Thanks again.

Thanks. Gonna get your book.

I'm dead serious. And what's more, I'm gonna pay FULL PRICE. Merry Christmas.
