> ...labor is so important to a person’s identity and dignity and to societal stability > ...lowering taxes on human labor to make it cheaper relative to digital labor > ...guaranteeing every American a basic income What all these say to me is a an unwillingness to actually advance the social dynamic that has been in place for 100s of the years. The hierarchy of serfdom. Why when you have the possibility of removing drudge like work with automation would you actually want to actively retain it. Why when a society of plenty is possible would you want to limit it's benefits for a few and give only a basic income to the rest. Why would you try to define someone with a menial task when you could aim to help them bring more worth to society and themselves with a more fulfilling and beneficial activity. Not saying there are easy answers to any these questions but trying to maintain the status quo is not an approach that benefits everyone.
