Everything freedom vs everything automated

Maybe the problem with everything freedom vs everything automated is something like the following:
- The everything automated people believe that everything automated is freedom whereas the everything freedom people believe everything automated is total slavery.
- It’s not a solvable problem, because as soon as either side fixes it, because it’s the end of the universe if they don’t, invariably the other side now needs to fix it or it’s the end of the universe.
- The cycle repeats for eternity.
- Everyone is mostly unhappy all the time.
This is how the world seems or feels to me much of the time. I'm aware it's not a perfect description but it's the best I have. We all experience reality differently, but perhaps it's still a useful description, in shape at least.
I know this will seem a bit overblown or hyperbolic to some, but when you see certain patterns repeating in society again and again, you can't unsee them.
I write this in the hope that perhaps in the sea of data this will add to the data points that could lead to making our societies qualitatively better. Sometimes it's just a good idea to describe how it feels.
