I think this is an interesting question and there does seem to be a crisis ahead, for which the usual Bilderberg reptilians have been planning for for some time and preparing us for as well through news stories and reports etc.
But I don't think we have to go along with this notion that we simply become redundant when we can't do our boring stupid jobs anymore. The repitilians might not be able to think of any useful way for us to serve them (although this in itself is questionable) but it may be we will find ways to amuse ourselves.
As an aside, part of the reason I'm very resistant to this framing of the rich and powerful as inhuman - other than the fact that it's a psychology only a cunt-hair away from literal Nazi-style antisemitism - is that it lets the rest of us off the hook. These people aren't another species, even if their material lifestyle might be very far removed from ours, and we delude ourselves by imagining that we'd be any better in their position. And yes, some of them like Trump have been born into vast wealth in the first place, but many haven't. Zuckerberg's family background is middle-class professionals, not poor but hardly zillionaires, while Martin Shkreli's parents were dirt-poor immigrants who worked as janitors.
I've been thinking about this a lot recently, as some of my managers at work have properly dicked me over, or have attempted to. The guy I report to is on, what, maybe half as much money again as I am? The guy he reports to is probably on twice my salary, something like that? Hardly wealth beyond my wildest dreams. And if I ever find myself in that sort of position, with underlings like I am now, will I treat them any better? I like to think I would, but who can say? Now scale that level of wealth up from the order of a hundred grand a year to a hundred
million a year, or consider those in the Bezos/Gates class with a personal wealth of the order of a hundred
billion.
So if you'd met Bezos when he was, I dunno, 18, you might have been struck by his ambition and interest in technology, but I doubt you'd have pegged him either as the likely future richest human of all time or as a being fundamentally alien from yourself.
Another reason is that treating them as humans means we can judge their actions by the standards of human ethics, instead of writing them off as intrinsically and inhumanly evil, which lets
them off the hook, too.
