I agree with what you say here ad this is my larger point. The revolution cannot be technological or financial to be lasting. It must be within us as individuals that make up society. I do not believe in a perfect Utopia but at a personal level, it is the creators that have long-term life satisfaction even though it is a very hard path. Making that path easier reduces suffering a great deal.
Automation should take place so people can have the space to become creators, not to increase profits. The current pathway is unsustainable so this stop-gap measure is likely unavoidable but it is not the destination, just the space to manoeuvre the change over in the innovation of the self.
Thank you for taking the time, I would answer more but have to feed my baby.

Yes space for the arts needs to be a required life-long skill that is currently lost for most once they become teenagers. If people don't want to do it there is little that can be done aside from the incentives mentioned already to motivate them. A very sad fact of life!
Creators or maintainers might be sufficient in liberate people from the drudgery of monotonous employment. As an historical example: the coal shovelers of yesteryear would've argued until they're blue in the face that taking their jobs away is not liberation: these people need to be flexible enough to be retrained and reskilled to be put back into the workforce. However, if a suitable baseline of skills was instilled during early years than this would not be necessary as the essential skills for life would be already present.
Thanks I'll check it out! You might be interested in my new debate series. Currently we're just starting the debate around the philosophy of the image and related visual arts philosophy discussion.

Thst early training is vital. At the moment it is opposed to future success (unless in a narrow band) as they do not teach how to learn, rather what.
I will check it out :)
