Excellent remarks and points! :)
Indeed, the 'future' is already here, automation is taking away jobs already for years, but until now we were able to create other jobs instead. However, that time is no behind us. Robotica and especially the AI part will make human labour not required anymore at some point in time in the future. I tend to go with what Ray Kurzweil is predicting, singularity of AI and humans is in reach in coming decades.
Basic income: correct, partially at least. It is not only lowering the retirement age, but also to find new financial models that we can actually lower the retirement age without increasing the income taxes to the people still working.
