I believe he is wrong about some aspects and the aspects he is correct about, I was writing about in 2010 as quoted below.
I claim the TED speaker is wrong about an unskilled labor shortage. The coming global economic implosion will radically shrink global GDP and leave us with a huge unemployment problem (unless

The skills shortage is main problem because I claim we are moving from the Industrial age to the Knowledge age.
And I claim the TED speakers top-down solutions will not work. Instead I claim what will solve the technological skills gap is
radically proliferating decentralization paradigms to dissolve the government which subsidizes people (incentivizing them to not develop the market demanded skills) and educates people with the wrong education, since the
skills they need are to a significant extent autodidact.
That is the last few years news.
If you mean I wrote those in roughly 2010, then correct. If you mean they are not still applicable, then I disagree.
A recent Oxford study predicts 47% of all existing jobs will be replaced by automation by 2033.
You will probably need a week or two of studying the thread slowly.
I will be the first to admit I needed a week to fully absorb the following works of AnonyMint.
