I agree with you on the first part detailing the coming automation of the workforce; the second part, however, is straight-up bullshit.
Humans aren't sacred, we're simply one of nature's (revolution's) many freak's---albeit the one who managed to dominate the earth.
The whole spiritual / esoteric nonsense is a product of our fictional language.
There's neither a "god", nor heaven or hell waiting for you once it turns black.
In addition to that, there isn't a "sacred" mission we have to fulfil, either.
If anything, humans should be the guardians of the earth, not the one's who hold it captive for their "needs".
We're truly special animals, but majestically fucked in many ways, too.
I'll say it again: we're one of nature's many freaks, not some benevolent "creation".
