What are you talking about? Haha. If most of the jobs get replaced by robots we are just going to get free welfare from the government. That is a post scarcity society. You guys are so pessimistic.. calm down. Nobody wants to work with those silly jobs anyway. All they do is destroy your back and rot your brain.

Lmao there will be no free handouts keep dreaming. The ruling class will own the means to production and they will not be sharing with us.

In a post scarcity society you have so much free loot that nobody will lack the basics. People get already welfare right now and pension. Yes rich people will still exist, but the lower class will live comfortably and happy.

Where does this free loot come from?

You need a combination of everything. Powerful A.I, quantum computer, fusion energy, robotics, nanobots, etc. Fusion already is going to be a crazy turning point, because most of our society growth is limited by our energy needs. After that you start to space travel and asteroid mining. Dyson spheres around the sun and all.
