This. Farming used to be such a rich and meaningful job where you connected with the earth, until machinery came along and ruined it.
I loathe what's happened with agscience, all farms should be plowed by hand with donkeys and plows.

It's fascinating how people like to push any statement to its limits, because it circles around to absurdity and they believe they've made a point. Moderation seems to be chasing you, but you clearly are faster!
If your mental model breaks at the limits, it maybe means there's some truth in what you say, but there's a nuance that's clearly missing.
And that's the case here: nobody argues when automation comes for many types of other tasks, so why is mathematics special? Or even art? We should either find that line or accept that maybe they aren't as special as we assumed.
