In conclusion:

After jobs -- do what you love, love what you do, as long as you have food, shelter and medical.

I assumed in this thread that UHI will be delivered as promised, rather soon. Yet, even UBI, or fraction of thereof, is not guaranteed at all. But that's a different story.

Very good point. Yet, Robert C. Allen might have somewhat different opinion, not that I support it. Would be interesting to see a roadmap to UHI though.

That may be the answer. Out of curiosity: Will UHI cover for your work expenses if there is no salary? What roles plays communication in your life and will you be able to continue it? Wondering if all people without forced or available job will be able to find something they like.

Very good start. Home schooling, infinite vacation. Next?

No societal pressure under UBI/UHI (if it's truly Universal), no pressure from env under green tech. Farming will be a hobby only, with robots.

With material security, we could focus on developing ourselves and caring for others

What educational approaches, communities, or social institutions should we build to help humans thrive?
