instagram.comLet’s assume that we will soon live in a world in which intelligence - narrowly defined - is cheap. In this world, any job that primarily depends on the manipulation of information - on a knowledge of rules, on conventional uses of language, on data-based analysis - comes under threat. Which qualities and attributes become relatively more valuable?... See more
