Question
What jobs will less intelligent, lower skilled people do in the future? What will people on the left side of the bell curve do for work in the future? Will these jobs give dignity? What can be done to ensure this?
Answer
You're not paranoid enough. Most of humanity is becoming obsolete and ripe for slaughter.
They will start dying faster as healthcare systems start collapsing around the world, lifespans get shorter, resistant-bacteria epidemics increase and infant mortality starts to rise again. Those smart enough to be the masters rather than the slaves of the machines will be able to protect themselves in the richer enclaves of the developed world, but these people will eventually age and die out due to low fertility, in walled retirement communities designed to withstand the collapse.
Be afraid, be very afraid.
Also it's not just low intelligence. It's also "wrong kind of intelligence." So the at-risk population is far bigger than you think. I think I am pretty smart, but the wrong kind of smart. I don't expect to survive the collapse. But I may try to take at least one hedge fund manager with me, by sneaking past security at his Wyoming fortress mansion and sneezing on him, once I've caught whatever disease is going to kill me.
Muahahahaha.
