When in history of mankind have we ever… is an appeal to the inability of humans to evolve.
When in history has being idle not been a problem?
If AI and robots are able to do all the jobs, being idle isn't the negative it has always been.
All through history, you needed lots of non-idle people to do all the work that needed to be done. This is a new situation we are coming upon.
