They key is to do it by setting up the right structure or end up with it naturally, not by laws and control, because then you end up in a oppressive nanny state at the very best.

You couldn't set up a lemonade stand using that principle let alone an entire society.

This is extremely hand-wavy.

Can you be more concrete in what you think this looks like?

The way I see it, we're only 5-10 years away from having general purpose robots and AI that can basically do anything. If the prices for that automation is low enough, there will be massive layoffs as workers are replaced.

There's no way to "naturally" solve the problem of skyrocketing unemployment without government involvement.


Ten years from now, we will still be ten years from general AI or robots.

The key, as history teaches us, is guillotines.
