This is the future social contract:
If AI and humanoid robots can do the work, then human survival can no longer depend on having a job.
So here is the new deal:
1: Every person has the right to food, housing, healthcare, education, energy, internet, and dignity. 2: Automation should make life cheaper for everyone, not just make billionaires richer. 3: If machines replace human labor, society must share the productivity gains. 4: Work becomes optional, meaningful, creative, or social. Not forced survival. 5: Nobody is punished for being less economically useful than a robot. 6: AI must serve human flourishing, not turn humanity into unemployed spectators outside the factory gates.
The old contract was: work or starve.
The new contract must be: automate everything, share the abundance, and let humans finally live.
