The idea is that we automate everything and the more we do the more we pass that productivity/efficiency down to people via UBI/wellfare/less working hours and when we hit star trek levels people are free run in fields, paint or just goon all day if they want to.

But we're doing the opposite, creating bullshit jobs to keep busy and pretend capitalism is working while starving and driving to extinction everyone who is not significantly wealthy while elite brag about driving innovation and the future of mankind.

I agree wholeheartedly. Unfortunately, we live in a world of wage slavery.
