We live in a society where the emphasis is cheaper goods and services by replacing people with technology. Who is going to employ those RMT's, life coaches and dog walkers?. We can't support ourselves by walking each others dogs.

There is an assumption here that we must do some kind of paid work to survive, but why?   Simplistically, if we had one robot for each worker, and the 'earnings' from that robot went to an individual, that individual could do whatever he/she wanted.   Perhaps if automation provided the necessities of life for everyone, and people really were free to do what they loved, our society would be more productive and innovative and ultimately richer.
