"The only solution that I see is a shrinking work week. We may perhaps
be working for 10 to 20 hours a week instead of the 40 for which we do
today. And with the prices of necessities and of what we today consider
luxury goods dropping exponentially, we may not need the entire
population to be working. There is surely a possibility for social
unrest because of this; but we could also create the utopian future we
have long dreamed of, with a large part of humanity focused on
creativity and enlightenment.
Regardless, at best we have another
10 to 15 years in which there is a role for humans. The number of
available jobs will actually increase in the U.S. and Europe before it
decreases. China is out of time because it has a manufacturing-based
economy, and those jobs are already disappearing."
I'm starting to lean toward the idea of a guaranteed minimum income for everybody.
