I have done a lot of thinking about this lately. In my country a lot of the recent political discussions have revolved around the creation of jobs. Though their ideas differ, they all seem to agree that everyone who is able to work should have a job. I don't think that is required. I believe that (unless humanity faces a devastating event) the times when there is a job available for everyone are gone. Robots will eventually take over a majority of our current jobs. Many peoples first reaction to this is to regard it as if it was a dystopia, but I believe we should embrace it. There are a lot of jobs out there which people choose only because they need an income. If the need for these jobs can be eliminated through the use of robots, and the income of the people can be supplied through a basic income, they can pursue jobs and passions which they didn't dare to do before. The basic income can be financed by replacing current ways of supporting those with poor economies, and will require less money if robots are performing many services. Jobs will still exist, but only for those who are well-educated. Not everyone is suited for that, and I don't think forcing them to choose between poverty or education is a solution. Robots will take over many of our jobs, and I believe it is time to embrace it and change our society for it to work.
