When automation starts replacing more and more jobs, even the so called professional ones the diminishing middle class will embrace unconditional basic income!

None of that will matter when accountants, programmers, title agents, teachers, etc,etc lose their jobs to automation/robots. People will have to adjust to a world without Jobs and rethink the way things get done. Instead of drudgery people can focus on making things better for humanity.

It sounds like you're talking about The Venus Project. That just so happens to be one direction we could presently move towards, if we wanted it as a "whole community".
