Thoughtful as always, Scott. I've long followed your work and agree with this entirely. There's an excellent quote from Arthur C. Clarke for me that sums up the sentiment:

"The goal of the future is full unemployment, so we can play. That's why we have to destroy the present politico-economic system."—Arthur C. Clarke

I think two keys here are to (1) stop beating around the bush about basic income as a way to just protect people from job loss; start actively advocating for job destruction—for "full unemployment"—as a way to help humanity progress and (2) attack the GDP-growth driven foundation for why we have such a consumption- and job-growth-driven obsession in the first place.

I think the latter needs particular attention, because most people don't even question what growing GDP means, or why economists are obsessed with that—or whether it has any correlation with human happiness beyond the point where people have their basic needs accounted for. If we were instead obsessed with "Gross National Happiness" or something like that (such as in Bhutan), then perhaps we wouldn't be so focused on jobs alone but, rather, on increasing human well-being in a more well-rounded way. (In fact, I wonder how Bhutan is reacting to the idea of automation, if it's even on their radar. Might be worth some investigation.)
