Thanks for the comment @mykos, you make some good points.

It's hard to say where the future will take us, but the parabolic growth of automation suggests that "work" is going to end up looking nothing like it looks today. Will we live entirely in virtual Web 3.0 meta worlds? I doubt it, as basic functions not adaptable to AI will still have to be carried out.

There will be a strong pushback against Basic Income as an "official" institution, but but I could a version where multiple private initiatives could serve the same function: You have to trade some form of skill/knowledge/content for $3 here, $10 here and what have you... and the "labor market" becomes more like a globally spanning "Fiverr" where every person is their own business doing "gig jobs" needed by companies, rather than being actual employees.

Part of the next 20 years will revolve massively around redefining what "value" means. What has "value?" What do people perceive to have value? What is entertainment "worth?" What is a blog post "worth," in a world where people are no longer trapped by the 9-to-5 paradigm?

Many questions to be answered... time will tell!
