Karl Marx, etc already wrote about a kind of devastating "singularity" that is here and now at the roots of many social, physical and spiritual ills.

As per Josef Pieper – it's all about leisure.
School especially so:
"The Greek word for leisure (σχολή) is the origin of Latin scola, German Schule, English school. The names for the institutions of education and learning mean leisure."
In this potential world of abundant leisure we just need to get back to good old sharing – because sharing means caring!
For everyone else, Leisure the basis of culture is worth reading and relevant here.
But finding a realistic economic system where the benefits of automation don't just benefit the top x% and lead to a morlocks and Eloi society is HARD!
There are all kind of possible ideas. Just the other day I read about, instead of taxing corporations, make that a minority percentage is owned by the society. Not without its problems, but sounds like it would line up some bad incentives that we see now in action.
At the end of the day, we always go back to who owns the means of production.
As is always the case with humans, change it's not going to happen until we are in real trouble. Maybe not even then.
I think not.
I thought sharing meant copyright infringement! ;-)
