In other words, the world is spinning.

People used to think the industrial revolution was the end of the world

It was the end of well paying jobs for many many people, while it did end up making the standard of living better, there was a not insignificant chunk of time where it got worse for a lot of people.

Didn't fear the the result, fear the transition period.
