our refuge is ingenuity, not routine
Bank tellers, once everywhere, offered short-lived relationships built around a deposit or withdrawal. Teller-like vocations trend that direction, with narrow interaction replaced by drill-down directories of options.
That raconteur in the speakers is a rubber duck counsellor, fetching weather or music you’d like to hear. Likewise, a doc bot mimics empathy with a flow-chart to infer cause, push a pill, or schedule who next to see.
But plumbers (of all manner) remain immune to the desperation of replacement; for now, for good reason. They’re able to design lines of flow around most-any obstacle, for the refuge of humanity is ingenuity—not routine.
