The real meta problem is that if you don&#x27;t work, you don&#x27;t eat. Who cares if they have a job or they just sit at home and play videogames.<p>Basic Income would allow people the freedom to pursue the things that truly interest them. It will be a golden era of video games and movies and art. A huge percentage of the population will be only concerned with pleasure.<p>Overall, we produce more with less labor and robotic automation only accelerates that. It&#x27;s not just factory workers and cashiers either. Many white collar tasks, bookkeeping, simple accounting, simple contracts, simple law are being swallowed by automation too.<p>I see a future where everyone is in a play or a movie, making a game, working on a novel, reading a metric ton of fan-fiction.<p>What&#x27;s probably true is alot more porn, video games and arguing on Reddit about porn and video games.<p>Either way, it&#x27;s better than millions doing jobs they hate, badly as they watch automation swallow them up like an ocean does an exhausted overboard sailor.
