Unfortunately, our society isn't structured that way at the moment. Any benefit gained from automation is not directly "transferred" to some arbitrary bucket designated "Money we can now spend on enhancing peoples lives / making it so they don't work for basic needs." >"Robotics. Software. Renewable Energy. These three ingredients remove the need to take anything from anyone while providing for everyone." As much as I admire your noble sentiment, I feel it is a bit unrealistic. Someone has to pay for those robots to be designed, maintained. For that software to be designed and administered, monitored. And renewable energy doesn't manifest out of nowhere, it needs capital investment (most of the time) to be harnessed. I'm struggling to conceptually understand how you think those items will manufacture productivity (general concept, as opposed to money) without it being taken from someone, whether willingly or forcefully?
