You are actually proving my point. There is no natural law that says that to have an economy we need humans to produce the output. Yet you speak as if our needs somehow trump the reality we live in.

You are simply confusing what humans need with what humans can expect. Technology is a competitor to humans not just a tool.

My train of thought is exactly sustainable in that it expects technology to take over most jobs instead of ignoring this.

If people start burning uber cars then uber cars will start defend themselves. Again technology is competitor way before we take it into Superintelligence land.

If more people was on my "train" we would be dealing with the problem by introducing something like Unconditional Income.

Technology is like a tsunami, you can try and stop it or try and learn to surf on top of it for as long as possible. I prefer the latter rather than being crushed by the former.

There's no natural law stating that technological progress and capitalism is the exclusive interest of reality.

People make laws. People make technology. If we continue down a path of making technology only serve the accumulation of capital, people will course correct the direction of technology.
