Over the course of human history, antibiotics and college degrees will see the same, narrow window of peak utility.

Technological unemployment is real, and it's coming. Best case scenario, we all collect UBI and barter artisanal pickles while giant Roombas do all of our farming and manufacturing. Worst case scenario, we all work for Mega Fulfillment Warehouse One.

Either way, conventional antibiotics are well past diminishing gains and on the way out. Likewise, a lot of our daily problems will either be solved well enough (ex: hammer designs as an end stage technology) or managed by AI.

More optimistically put:

You were born too late to explore the seas, yet too early to explore the stars, but at least you got penicillin.
