"but claiming that it isn't possible is simply ignoring realities of technological progress."

Only one of us seems to be ignoring realities of technological progress.
Thousands of years of progress have happened and many things have been automated and yet humans still have moved on to other jobs that have not lead to high unemployment.

Robots are just another machine that will advance humans to a luxury not downtrodden future.

Some of us have a good outlook for the human race others have a negative outlook.
