There is not a single time in human history where the advancement of technology has lead to an overall loss of jobs. And before you say “this is different” keep in mind that entire base industries have been transformed.

There was a time when 80+% of the jobs in the US were in agriculture, now it is ~2.5% all of those jobs were taken over by automation. But no crash, no disaster, no crisis.

As for your other point it is absurd. You are going to “save” mankind by imposing a dictatorship that inhibits technological advancement. It has to be a dictatorship, because no democracy can sieze, without cause, property.

Then, as the cherry on top you argue that this new future would be better. You want to see what a dictatorship that inhibits technology looks like. Try North Korea.
