> it is ridiculous to expect a computer science grand to "driving forklifts, construction, moving, factory work"

I agree, but at the same time this is what we told truck drivers when self driving cars was going to take over like a decade ago ("reskill, and at your own dime"). Kind of karma. Capitalism doesn't care unfortunately.

We should replace manual work with automation we shouldn't chop off the tree of industry knowing we will continue to need non entry level knowledge workers after current workers retire.

Also the we haven't actually replaced truck driver's at this point so nobody was actually told to reskill on their own dime yet and the "we" that specuated on this point is largely merely pragmatic.

Could you elaborate on the reasoning for manual work being different, and what it’s different from?

Well I don’t think it was kids still in school telling the truck drivers that so I’m not sure what karma has to do with it.
