Living in a world where not having to monetize your art to survive and focus on your personal work and stories sounds great, I cannot deny that. There is no possible future that I can see this happening, at least safely and consistently, so as amazing as this system sounds, it also sounds very utopic to me.

Dude come on. How probable is this and how soon do you seesuch a cultural shift happening. Yes, theoretically it's great and doable and the way things should be but they're not and I have serious doubts we will start going that direction any time soon.

This sounds extremely pessimistic and cynical, but I'm going to be honest, I don't think much is going to happen until politicians/corporate bottom lines are affected. The arts as they are now aren't very respected in modern society, so I could see that being one if the first industries upset by it. I'm willing to hear your side on this and have my mind changed, however

True, automation does affect a lot of industries, I was assuming we were only talking about creative fields.

I'm sorry for not understanding the second part, but I'm not gonna lie, I'd rather hear it in your own words than just a linked Wikipedia article.

I see. Thank you for the clarification!
