I mostly somewhat agree with you but unless you find a more appealing package for your arguments, you're just going to exacerbate the bifurcation on issues like this, and definitely not convince or enlighten anyone.

I don't see how you brought socialism into any of this.

Ironically, socialism is being sold as a solution that you yourself make very clear. That, the pace of scientific progress is really fast ,and automation is going to make a lot of jobs obsolete.

Socialism (in the nordic sense, ie. capitalism with social welfare) is being proposed as a solution to rising inequality and unregulated for-profit forces in the free market of industries where the consumer has no choice. (medicine, education)

Unbelievable that people believe that the Nordic model of capitalism is "socialism". Capitalism with social welfare is not socialism.
