In the future a UBI may be the way to go - more & more is being done by technology & that's unlikely to stop.
Perhaps in the future all humans will be paid a UBI, no one will work apart from a few specialised areas - & humans will be able to take advantage of free education & develop their creativity to lengths we can't even imagine now.
