In 10 years this situation will play out across all jobs in all industries. Nobody from janitors to theoretical physicists will be spared. All work, everywhere, will gradually acquire an ever-deepening sense of futility. Until all anyone can see is that the only people doing this pointless work are the "working" poor. And then we'll ask "why are some rich and some poor?" and discover that economics is just a scam, having no bearing on reality. The rich are con artists, the poor are marks. And why are the poor marks? Because they've been worked so hard for so long that all they can manage is their own survival. If the poor learn how the scam works, there won't be any rich people anymore. That's why the rich do everything in their power to prevent all forward progress in all areas of life that may lift this veil of deception.
Get mad at me, equivocate, deny and deflect. It doesn't matter. It's too late, and this is all going to happen faster than anyone ever saw coming.
An analogy: I used to get mad when I spilled my coffee each morning. Now I observe the nature and character of the spill, how my hurriedness or caution has little bearing on the odds of it happening, and appreciate that the universe has spilled for me, to give me a little sign that it's still there. That's what it feels like watching increasingly absurd talking heads on TV distract from anything and everything that's even remotely related to UBI.
Just because I know the spill is coming, doesn't mean that I can stop it.
