Economic factors to consider:

0. Differentiation--> we are not all the same, and we do not have identical wants and needs

1. Massive investment of time, effort and capital in automation--> requires ROI for investors

2. Supply is governed by demand, not by a bureaucratic checklist

3. Necessary work is harder than unnecessary work --> who wants to work harder for same rewards and incentives?

4. Job "usefulness" and compensation is determined by supply and demand--> rare and difficult vs. common and easier

5. Hunter gatherer lifestyle is not equal to 21st century lifestyle--> the horses are out of the barn

6. Free time is not play time --> free time is a combination of play and personal advancement which creates more differentiation
