What happens when a minority of people still need to do unautomatable jobs in order everyone else to prosper? Current situation seems to be this: hand a white collar to everyone but a few (and they don't get to do anything meaningful), pay them allowance. Force everyone else (a minority) to take a job where they are overworked for a considerably smaller pay. I'm sceptical on whether we can make workless society work.
