Repetitive skills like pattern recognition, information retrieval, optimization and planning are most vulnerable to automation. On the other hand, social and cognitive skills such as creativity, problem-solving, drawing conclusions about emotional states and social interactions are least vulnerable.
The most resilient competencies (those least likely to be displaced by AI) included critical thinking, teamwork, interpersonal skills, leadership and entrepreneurship.
Yuval Harari, a historian at the Hebrew University of Jerusalem, described the rise of AI as a "cascade of ever-bigger disruptions" in higher education rather than a single event that settles into a new equilibrium. The unknown paths taken by AI will make it increasingly difficult to know what to teach students.
Perhaps we can all be employed as therapists, counseling each other about our feelings of irrelevance?

If by "fails" you mean badly needed socialist reforms fail to make it through Congress, then you are correct. But that's not a failure of socialism. That's a failure of the American people to see through the propaganda that's being fed to them by corporate media. I have some friends in other countries who love their health care system and always ask me "Why do Americans vote against their own health care?". Long answer involves corporate media, entrenched capitalists entrance, and corruption. Short answer: Americans are dumb.
