So what are suggesting for when the vast majority of job sectors vanish? "Everybody relax and wait for the coffin?" When there's nothing to do anymore in the traditional sense, we receive an opportunity: millions, possibly billions of intelligent beings with nothing to do. Until they realize that they've got a whole to do, inside themselves. The brain is a magnificent thing that most people never really get to explore in their lifetimes. However, such exploration can only happen in tandem with education, otherwise there is nothing to explore.
The jobcalypse would give us the time needed to become better humans instead of better marginally intelligent machines. Make music, draw, sow, be creative. Lovingly tend to your garden. Develop crazy new theories about stuff and discuss them with like-minded individuals. Spend weeks on end in a library, not because you need the knowledge, but because you suddenly took a fancy to ancient Nordic literature. Come out to find that other people are interested in the subject and teach them. What about the meaning of life, the universe, and everything? Are we going to find that by watching TV all day because "education won't help"?
There is stuff do. Lots of it. It's in our heads.
