If those talents are also sought after for other jobs then the price will go up until one of the jobs will be done by some other method or some other person. I do have trouble imagining that anybody who is working on a farm would be a good data-scientist but then I no very, very little about farming.

Economics is not tainted or colored by ideology, it is a science. It is the study of how best to allocate limited resources that have multiple conflicting uses.

In this world there is nothing that is free, everything comes with some price. As long as there is a human want that is not fulfilled, there is no additional humans.

That isn't necessarily bad though. You can charge societies progress to how few people are required to provide food to the rest. Once most Americans worked in argriculture, now only a few do. That is a good thing, because the rest of us can the do something else and satisfy some other human want.

And the remaining farmers are better of too, since they don't have to work as hard and have things like tvs and computers.

You must be joking. Economics is the most ideological of the sciences, because so much of it cannot be tested in nature or a lab, as it only can be tested an impractically large scale and with many confounding factors.
