    At this rate it's either guaranteed income by 2050 or a revolution of the workers. I'm guessing it'll be the former once high-earners like surgeons and dentists start losing out to the robots.

    You adjust. Just like we've done in the 200 years since the Industrial Revolution. Even in your ridiculous hypothetical, if surgeons and dentists are being replaced by robots, workers will become retrained to learn how to program and maintain those robots. There will always be jobs available, they're just constantly changing. That's the reality of economic and technological progress.
    My point stands.

    I keep it real.

    I tried to swamp cherries ... lasted all of 1 day.

    Tried to thin apples ... lasted an hour.

    Know your limits.

    Your dreamy revolution of the proletariat will be crushed by robots in less than 48 hours. And nobody outside the movement will give two shits. The "system" always wins.
