It is just really hard to be valuable as a person anymore.

In the 1800s if your body/mind worked relatively well you had value. That was all it took.

Then we industrialized everything and having a body wasn't worth much anymore, You needed to have a healthy body/mind and educate yourself in a specific skill.

Now we are staring down a reality where having a healthy body/mind, an education and skillset isn't worth much. So what is next?

At the end of the day we all just want to feel like we have a place, but our kids are looking at a future where they can prepare themselves 24/7 and still be easily replaceable. We probably need some kind of post-capitalist view of human value or people if we keep raising the minimum requirements to have worth in society.
