Reply to comment by Charming-Coconut-234 in How would the economies be if AI takes most / all the jobs? by Charming-Coconut-234

This is why so many people are adamant about basic income. We are reaching an era where all things can be automated through renewable energies.

It should be our goal as a people to free up our time for creation, philosophy, and discovery. We were never meant to sit at desk all days but to explore our local lands and be with our families.

We now have the means ( or are close to having them ) to make this possible for the general population.

We’ll they’re in their 60s and 70s so much sooner than that especially in the spots where it counts, leadership in government. A new progressive wave will hit soon enough that could potentially flip the script as we know it.

Letting some them reach old age and retirement doesn't seem fitting.

Unfortunately, where it seems like we’re heading economically, none of them will be able to retire because the world they’ve created is about to swallow that hoarded wealth whole

Something that never properly existed can only remain for so long.
