The only reason we have the standard of living we do today is because of automation. I welcome more of it.

[dminik]

Only insofar as you were able to keep a job. If you lose your job to automation, and there are no more jobs left, what do you do? Where do you get the money to keep your standard of living?

[Legend2440]

Either we will invent new jobs, as we have always done in the past.

Or if truly all jobs can be done by machine, we retire and go live a life of fully automated luxury space communism.

I wish I could share your optimism.
