Because it is the 21st century, so freedom is free. Done.

What this means, is that at some point it is simply better to invest in machinery(automation) than employment. Eventually AI will surpass human capabilities in every domain where any sort of intelligence matters. It's inevitable, given exponential progress. Whether that "eventually" is next decade or next century is irrelevant(or whether it's a tailored weak AI or an universal true strong AI) -- what is relevant is that aforementioned "big enough" proportition of people, and AI(and automation) will surpass them well enough to be competitive against humans far sooner. Somebody has to deal with this, somehow. Basic income guarante could be a solution -- automation can produce enough for people to live off well enough.
