You know the quite disturbing, albeit common experience of sensing vindication. I have been floating in vindication for a long time now. Maybe it's because of this Groundhog Day like deja vu trip? When, what You figured out would happen, happened - over and over again - enought tines to get the general idea how things turn out to be the way they turn out to be. Once I commented on WSW about an article that lamented over the needs of the workers - completely ignoring the fact that 'jobs' will only decrease as the forth industrialization picks up steam like a 2-10-2 with the boiler glowing.

From very early on, I had strong doubts that hard work and misery would bring the desired results towards the end of one's life. My Mom would get quite upset when I bemoaned the fact that a human being cannot just being left to develop on its own terms. It needs to comply with the basic tenets of society. Hard working people never live close to non-working people.
It gets more complicated. When in the Christian doctrine hard work and trials are a sign of the creator's love for that particular being, it will be a challenging task to re-write that whole doctrine to reflect the fact that manpower is no longer needed - unless the robots can't do the job. Like in Chernobyl, or Fukushima. Then, human folk will step in. Fire fighting is another excellent field of human work that makes sense. But the caveat is definitely that work is seen as something to be done to survive. And the less skilled a person is, the less money it will receive, and the less money it receives, the less time it has to live. It should be the other way around. The least skilled person should get the highest pay. The most skilled worker on the other hand does not work at all. Because when somebody is virtuous at doing something, that person is creating beyond, or above any monetary consideration. One is then 'working' as a cover for the need to create. The need to do something. Work fits that need like a fist into an eye socket. It is justification to waste one's life time with truly deeper-meaning-less activities utilizing/exploiting various aspects of a human being.

Taking away the possibility to 'work hard to make a living' will ultimately not only threaten the physical existence. It will destroy the self-image of the Christian that must work hard to earn its keep. Of course this is not limited to Christianity, but most prominent therein.
Twenty years ago I wrote about the possibilities of 3D printing. Ten years I started writing about the consequences and now it's about its effects.

It should be acceptable to proclaim that all the advances in technology ultimately were the commissions of the owner class among science and technology. What we are experiencing is what the owner class envisions. That it will all work much better with 90% of the population going extinct. Self driving cars, auto piloted air craft and yachts - all modes of transportation can now be automated. Agriculture has been steadily employing less workers. - because of robotics/automatization. If I can build a 3D printer, I can also build a produce-printer. Whereas 'printing' is replaced with 'care taking'. That's what I love to spend all my time on. And good, healthy food is always needed. My revolution is the introduction of '3D-caretakeR-produceR' - a produce producer for all sizes.

Luckily, I never felt bored in my life and always found something to do, to watch, or to listen to. That's why punishing me by sending me to my room never worked. I would run up the stairs...
