That is simply false. No generation before this one was able to produce more than it needs with only a tiny fraction of its citizens doing the work. That is a massive foundational change. We just had the most serious drought in decades. The number of people working in agricultural production is tiny compared to what it was 100 years ago. We have 25% under/unemployment. I have yet to see a single food product 'unavailable' on supermarket store shelves. That is brand new in the entire history of humanity.
We do not need most of the people now living. We had best find something useful for them to do, or find a way to placate them - because the only thing massive groups of dim people do well on their own .... is riot.
