I know these basic income stories just keep popping up advocating this. But few are asking what life IS without work. Massive depression. not everyone is an artist, and even artists get depressed, especially if everyone has to become an artist. But, can't we as a population have a goal, I mean, all this automation is great for automating the stuff that just props up the minimal necessary stuff to keep the giant ball rolling, but can't we have a goal? What is our goal? are we trying to leave the planet? Is the goal to just keep having babies? What is the ultimate goal of humanity? Now... if it IS to leave the planet and start colonizing others, keep in mind we're a pretty terrible species as it is - jealousy, ego, anger, depression. We eat animals, etc.. Right now we're the exact EVIL entity that we picture in movies like independence day. I mean most of us are not vegetarians. So maybe our goal should be to fix ourselves. How?
