"The devil finds work for idle hands"... if we were all sat about doing not a lot with the machines doing it all some of us would find useful things to do (that the machines weren't doing), but there would be a greater portion who would be doing things for their own ends - and some of them will be criminal things. I reckon got to keep the population busy with a purpose to keep society on track, 

I like to think that the inevitable UBI will create a richer society. 
I would still play music and work with trees if I was sorted for cash.

I know there are benefits - and draw backs - but I think the flip side of it is we still need to be busy, have a purpose in life - which most of us on here have some get up and go... but there are others where the get up and go is suffixed by "to the fridge for another breakfast beer"

For anyone who doesn't know, this is the Hitch Hiker's Guide to the Galaxy. There's a bit later on where Arthur discovers the bird-people of Brontitall. By throwing the cup at the machine, he inspired them to fck off the robots altogether and go back to living as birds.
