"It seems obvious to me that eventually the entire economy will be robotized.
But surely this is not a bad thing. An automatic economic infrastructure,
powered through renewable resources and utilizing molecular manufacturing,
would effectively end economic scarcity, thereby ending the kinds of economic
activity associated with such scarcity, i.e. human labor. The only remaining
problem is the distribution of wealth. But, even here, I am confident that as
the technological infrastructure of life-support on this planet is produced
evermore efficiently we will see a corresponding evolution of civilization that
leads, naturally, to a different economic way of being."

"When robots are able to manufacture all kinds of things with just the raw
materials and the energy required, you will see even the standard of living for
even the poorest folks go up. The dumps of the world are actually a great source
for both.

We'll have open source robots so that everything already in the public domain
can be replicated without paying.

Educational software and robots will also advance to the point where people can
learn in their own way the things they need to know to get out of poverty and
to keep from being exploited.

Improved nutrition and medicine, also enabled by robots will also help spare
folks from the worst effects of poverty."
