One reason to discuss job displacement is that otherwise you sound like a nutcase ("we're all going to die!")... which causes most people to dismiss you out of hand. If you talk about job loss, more people see something plausible, concrete, short term, effecting them directly, etc. You can get engagement from more people. Then you can introduce the real problem of, like, human extinction.
