increasingly it seems like the only real answer to this is to find ways of ensuring guaranteed income for people. imo we are reaching a point where people who want to build or do things will be able to - unrestrained by skills - and there will be a lot of people who will no longer need to work

I think this is necessary, but not sufficient. Everyone needs purpose, but a lot of people also need to be told what to do. People complain about work but I think being expected to show up somewhere, somehow, for someone is a good thing for the psyche and soul, even if it sucks a bunch of the time.
