I don’t see a scenario where we can avoid that situation. Looking at it super simply (my favourite):
- there are more people every day
- every company on the planet looks for efficiencies constantly
- technology is a runaway train

I just don’t see a future where enough jobs exist for people to work. Maybe we can split aside some “legacy careers” that require more experienced people, and have everybody else retire at 40? Or younger?

Forget telling me about how UBI is a great idea or a terrible idea, and somebody tell me how there are enough jobs for people aged 17-65 in 30 years.
