The most promising thing about smart contracts is how they will redefine the very social agreements that form the foundation of civilization in a trustless and permissionless manner, all the while making lawyers seethe endlessly.

Code is interpreted, not up for interpretation.

The more wagies that get replaced with software the better. Jobs that are menially repetitive can all be automated and entire industries that function as little more than parasitic middlemen can all be replaced by permissionless systems.

Eventually, we'll be able to replace wagies themselves with lines of code. Much of the Internet is already bots interacting with other bots. It is not too difficult to imagine the real world following suit. They would prove to be better conversationalists as well.

The irony is not lost that in order to ensure the survival of human civilization, humans will have to be removed from most of the processes involved with running civilization.
