You can’t be serious. The entire crux of your argument rests on this one hand-waving “just trust me bro” dismissive?

It’s not hand waving. It’s pointing out like every paradigm shift in the past, there probably isn’t one answer but society progresses and there will be new ways for people to be supported/productive.

What the alternative? Block progress for a few months, lose your lead in a very important race and someone else develops those technologies and you’re back in the same place again, albeit without owning the “means of new production”.
