Starve in the morning, starve in the afternoon, starve in the evening, self-criticise instead of dinner.
FTFY.

Even if we do build fully-automated and autonomous means to grow/build/create everything we need, identity in this era is still overwhelmingly rooted in our jobs. I am a Developer, she is a farmer, he is a doctor. If all the jobs go to robots, what are we?
Ask any jobless person for whom no job exists how they feel about life.

You can still be a developer, a farmer, or a doctor even if you find that you don't require those activities in order to eat.

#7In general, I think this world will benefit from more radical humanistic ideas, even if they aren't ever realized.
Let's not leave the radical alternatives to the racists and nationalists.

this is assuming that new industries shall not develop once complete automation (of those possible) is achieved. engineering jobs - for example - should branch out to many more folds of specializations compared to where they are now.
