This problem was also discussed in this link that I posted:
The System Won’t Survive the Robots

I have thought about this often since I became involved with crypto. One perspective that I have come to is that organic farming as a skill and an activity that practically anyone could do is highly undervalued and underpaid. Intensive care of individual plants and small plots produces exquisite edibles that should command premium prices. If a member of the unskilled cannot come up with the initiative to undertake an activity such as intensive organic growing, and his relatives don't wish to support him/her in idleness, than they perhaps should not have been born in the first place. I mean, if you expect society to pay for the support of your children, than you have to expect that society has the say as to whether or not you are allowed to breed.
Yeah, great article :)

Well, I would say that he has some grasp of the "problem" but not much of a take on any "solution". And no one in any of these discussions seems to be taking any consideration of the importance of "status" in human relations.
POLITICS: n 1: social relations involving authority or power.
We swim in “politics” like fish swim in water; it’s everywhere, but we can’t see it!
In fact, telling primates (human or otherwise) that their reasoning architectures evolved in large part to solve problems of dominance is a little like telling fish that their gills evolved in large part to solve the problem of oxygen intake from water. — Denise Dellarosa Cummins

If society becomes automated then robots can run society so why not give every family it's share of robots? I don't see why anyone has to lose here even if human labor is replaced by robots. It just means the cost of living can be brought down and people can be less dependent on other humans.
