Society eventually will work it out. If you get too many idle and angry people you get a revolution, everything is broken in the process, and lots of work to get back to the beginning of the problem again. Or maybe technology allows us to move to other planets and have to start again. Or maybe a disease kills 50% of the population. Lots of possibilities. People always assume the future won't be much different than the present.
