Let me fall
into the darkness
empty
and become void.

    Yes, I agree. That would be the best case.

    However, I consider myself a little bit more realistic. Politics (especially in the US) will not allow for any form of socialism, be it UBI or something else, at least not in the near future. I believe that making fewer babies (contraception) is a strong handle that the people hold. Sure, people like fucking, but doesn’t determine baby count.

    Yes, I see that the argument depends on the context.

    Honestly, I expect some form of mass unemployment in the future coming along with mass automation.

    That doesn’t mean that every job will get automated, but a large fraction (especially office jobs) will.

    Also, please consider that it isn’t relevant “how many jobs there are”. It is relevant how well these jobs are paying. It would be very significant if AI took all of the well-paying “white collar” jobs, while humans are stuck with a lot of, but poorly paying, blue collar jobs and pink collar jobs.

    EDIT: to whom it might concern, I believe that birth rate has to go down to keep the wages up. Because the labor market is a market, and less supply (fewer workers) = higher pay.
