The computer still cannot drive nails and dig ditches. Your "lower
intelligence" people can make very good wages as skilled laborers and
tradesmen that will not be replaced by computers in their lifetimes,
or their children's lifetimes.

True. However, the youth of today has been conditioned into believing
they must strive for the very high paying, non physical labor type of
jobs. Unfortunately, as is the same for all the athletes who base their
future on becoming a pro, there aren't enough openings are available.
You must be VERY good at what you do, have a few connections, and have a
backup plan in case you don't succeed in achieving the elite status you
desire. Most do not.

And there are more unemployed IT and computer science geeks out there
than there are unemployed electricians, plumbers, millrights,
mechanics, etc.

True. Those trades cannot be outsourced.
