This would be all the more easier now that resource extraction (farming and mining), logistics, resource transformation and firepower are all being automated away. Re. UBI: There are two prongs to power: construction (economy) and destruction (military). The latter is necessary to secure resources to power the former. UBI is about numbing people down to the fact that they are being stripped of their economic power (the only one they still have at this point). I don't see why capitalism would waste resources by feeding billions of idle meat bags.
