Call me naive, but I actually believe it is possible nowadays to make labour obsolete, without making the labourer obsolete.

  Really? Because the only people able to get paid after their work has been automated (textiles, manufacturing) are those who are able to collect from social safety nets, and they barely get by. I'm all for a more equitable distribution of wealth though, through a combination of a much more solid web of social programs and higher taxes levied on top recipients of income (I dare not confuse those with "earners").

    That depends on the state that makes the social net. Scandinavian countries make way better social nets.
