This statement assumes humans love having control over others and keeping them in a system of pseudo-slavery. But if you look at it closely humans are the faulty, unreliable pieces and if you can get them out of your business's equation it's hugely beneficial.
And don't forget automation which seems to be looming closer and closer as time goes on. Theoretically, this results in fewer jobs for the non FI-ed people to compete for. You need something to assure their future least they become restless on the streets and adding to social unrest (that preferably doesn't include some kind of bullshit job). Food, medicine and affordable housing for a long part of their lives within a few years of working and saving would be a good start. The UBI talk is something to take note of too.

Theoretically, this results in fewer jobs for the non FI-ed people to compete for This has been the consensus since the assembly line was invented. Yet, there's new jobs popping up all the time that still require people to do them. People used to work in the fields, then they moved to the factories, now they're in services. I have no clue what's next, but I don't think it's nothing.
