This is likely an unpopular thought in the thicket, but the return on a lot of labor is going to zero

dunno what counts are labor... most my life is oriented around fun. A lot of it is difficult fun, and needs work—heck, even labor—but still fun.

I'm thinking of paid labor (jobs), particularly for cognitive tasks.

I suspect this isn't precisely true but only because because it's too neat. That's my whole counterpoint, which I know is a weak counterpoint. A good rule of history is that the big trends turn out surprising. 

The trouble with having a dispute over this looking forward though is that you can't really say more than: "I don't think that's going to happen," because the natural rejoinder is, "Well, what do you think is going to happen?"

My only answer to that is: "I don't know! It's going to be surprising!" 

And that's not a very compelling argument, I grant you.
