I can't imagine either.

That we use technology for the first time to create work, or how we should distribute resources without work -> money.

Me neither. There needs to be more discussion about things like this. I don't know how or why people refuse to even think about it. Specially smart people. Economists.

I have no answer as to why people refuse to think about it.

But with more topics like this, it starts.

Perhaps in the last few meters before the goal, it will become clear that humanity must agree on a goal. Otherwise, progress will stagnate.

Do we want to maintain gainful employment and the allocation of resources over it, or not? If not, how do we distribute? According to which system?

If we keep gainful employment, what is the value of a job that exists only to give a person employment?

How do we justify differences when any person with access to ki assistance can do any work, especially interlectural work?

I have no answers.
