One often wonders the life utility of children's stories. What's the point of simple plot-lines and a very pointed causation that demonstrates a moral value at the end.
Presenting a redux of the all time classic - Chicken Little. The sky is falling.
The same story has been in motion since the time a caveman rubbed two stones together and discovered fire. Transformations in technology have caused tectonic upheavals which have always ruptured the social and economic fabric of humanity - the wheel, the steam engine, the Industrial revolution, the internet, computerization, etc.
Nothing happens. The sky isn't falling. No one is overvalued in perpetuity. People adapt and find newer ways to add value.
Synthesise your thoughts from understanding history. This is likely going to be a decade or two long transition.
