when automation is doing most of the jobs we won`t need to work anymore and we won`t need money because robots don`t need to be paid. Let the robots make everything and people can get everything they want for free.
of course the 1% won`t like the idea of getting rid of money but automation makes it inevitable.

The funny part of all this is that A.I. will actually destroy economics as they will be able to manipulate it much faster and easier than even the most corrupted Leman brother associate.
Steven Hawking saw that much, check it. A.I. could start the future of Stock Market Wars

Even more concerning is not just when the robots do all of the work, but rather when they make all of the decisions.
GREAT THREAD, SOFICROW.

Humans, especially those hyper focused and unable to really relate with humanity as a whole fail to see the ying AND THE YANG of events and variables at that.
The future will need many more RICH people in it if there is even to be a future. Because the bottlenecking of resources and profit will only fuel self destruction of our society.
With that said, a universal income is more likely to happen before that dystopian future of the fenced in haves defending from the rebel have nots.
Solely because it will be more efficient to give us money than it would be to allow us all that creative downtime to plot how to take from them in the 1st place.

What, exactly?
That this future is going to happen by 2020?
January 2016: The Future of Jobs
The Fourth Industrial Revolution, which includes developments in previously disjointed fields such as artificial intelligence and machine-learning, robotics, nanotechnology, 3-D printing, and genetics and biotechnology, will cause widespread disruption not only to business models but also to labour markets over the next five years, with enormous change predicted in the skill sets needed to thrive in the new landscape.

You called it like its going to be, the problem comes when the production has no demand, because the money is not their to buy the goods they produce.
The gov will provide the people with the money to buy the goods the robots produce.
...So, everyone will get a "basic income allowance", granted from birth to death. ...
