Because it is the only way to grow, jobs mean production, creation, and also novelty. The most probable thing is that the works completely reform as when the industrial revolution, but they will always need people who think, express themselves, innovate, etc. Art as well as writing are jobs that are not replaced by machines or AI, many mental and expressive works will probably see their peak.
Put the example of Rome because it happened 1,500 years ago, and at that time, in its economic boom, the Roman citizens, who did not envy anyone, had stagnated, believing that they had everything and there was no need for anything else, but then they collapsed, because there is a permanent need in the civilizations and human societies, as well as in the human being itself, to expand and grow, to create something new and better, that is why we dominate the other species and that is why the dominant countries and civilizations always begin with a quest for expansion, those that stagnated; Egypt, Greece, Rome, Spain, including the British Empire, collapsed, very easily we can fall down this road.
well I disagree with your fundamental premise.
the societies of old died because they got to big.
governments, all of them, are insane...when they get too big they die.
That's what I said. When I speak of expansion I don't speak of the State but of all the indicators, I speak of intelligence, knowledge, territorial expansion, technology, etc. It was exactly when they stopped expanding in these areas, because they were comfortable, and began to expand their State, through forms of subsidies and Welfare State, with the "bread and circuses" in Rome, which began to fall.
Rome gave subsidies to wheat and organized expensive entertainment events to benefit the population, however, this growth of the State brought with it the collapse of civilization, interregional trade was diminished because farmers could not compete with subsidized wheat, and many poor people emigrated to the Roman center to live with these facilities. The Roman economy suffered an atrocious interventionism and the population became accustomed to luxuries, which is why they could not stand with the same barbarians they had subjugated for centuries.
I think something similar can happen with the implementation of a universal basic income.
