"Now the output of goods and services will be extremely high. So with automation, there will come abundance. Almost everything will get very cheap. We’ll all just end up doing universal basic income, it’s going to be necessary. The harder challenge is how do people then have meaning. A lot of people drive their meaning from their employment. So if you’re not needed, if there’s not a need for your labor, what’s the meaning? Do you have meaning? Do you feel useless? That’s a much harder problem to deal with."
