The Male Inequality Problem

For years there’s been a counterswell of commentary that folks of either gender, even smart ones, ought to concentrate not on brain work that can be outsourced to e.g. India, but rather what seem like the humbler skills of trades and services that physically cannot be offshored.

In direct contradiction to the steady drumbeat of college=success, college=success, college=success that was beaten into those of us of a certain age. And thereby into a lot of our older offspring.

Sounds like AI is finally making those thoughts of good jobs being the non-outsourceable non-brainwork ones credible after maybe 20 years of some pundits crying into the wilderness with little reaction from the public.
