I don't disagree with your point, but I do at least slightly disagree with your perspective. This isn't something like an unavoidable feature of the future that is going to affect a subset of society. It is that we are fundamentally doing the wrong things. Even in your own, and many of ours, situation there are people struggling with education, housing and stability. So even if you are keeping up with the future in the positive sense, you aren't protected from the negatives. Something like UBI isn't going to fix that stability has increasingly become something valuable to be traded. This isn't however something unique. It happens at least to some degree every time there is a shift. People start capitalizing on the positives and the negatives eventually catches up. When the greatest shift is in how to handle the negatives. That is really how to keep up with the future. Once there is a solution to how people e.g. can get education, housing and stability you can automate everything you want. But it often requires giving up the former for the latter. You can't have a high cost of living and automate all the bullshit jobs without consequences. Because the bullshit jobs are paying for that.
