I'm a software engineer So I'm not against robots. But I don't trust our current power structure to deploy them in a way that will result in anything that extends equity.

I would trust you to do it based on your comment, but not "them", however, one defines "them."

I'm not as pessimistic as a lot of this author's readers, but I carry a strong dose of skepticism in my blood.

But I also have a lot of hope in the younger generations and how fed up they are with everything. That usually brings about change.
