Dear savedmetwice,
Thank you for your insights. I find your points very interesting, agree with a lot of them and am glad that I'm working in entertainment. :-)
I also see the problem of not enough work for everybody because of automation. And besides it concerning mostly jobs no one likes to do (cleaning, working on the conveyer belt etc.) in the future there will be mass-unemployment and mass-unselffullfilling (is that a word?).
One solution I try to fight for is the unconditional minimal income. Everybody, working or non-working, would get it and would be able to dedicate their life to what they want, studying, writing poetry, exploring, helping others without having the fear to lose their home or not having enough to eat. It would create a completely new society!
