I agree with most everything you said. I just want to add commentary to this comment: We may be at that point in the developed world. But a lot of work needs to be done in the developing world. And new technology can help realize abundance for the developing world quicker than most people think. One of the most popular examples is the SlingShot developed by Dean Kamen, which has the potential to help eradicate the world's water problems. There are still a lot of people who go without water, food, and shelter throughout the developing world, and it may need more than policy to fix (although global policy would obviously be massively helpful). EDIT: And my emphasis on advancing ICT is simply to state that there are emergent technological pressures that will force policy towards UBI (IMO).but we don't need any new technology to fix it
