RE: Is no longer fun to be a freelancer
A very heartfelt and honest article. I appreciate it. Because everything will be automated in the future, I agree that what makes human endeavors "valuable" depends on how distinguishable it is from robot-work. There's still room for work built creativity and imagination.
You sound bummed and I sympathize but we're actually the fortunate ones. We realize what's to come and understand how we must prepare. In contrast, some of our peers are busy churning away at some soul-sucking career that will be obsolete in the near future.

Thank you for appreciating my article and my honesty. I'm also pleased to meet another UBI supporter. Thanks to technological progress and automation everything gets cheaper every day, but cheaper is not cheap enough if you can't make any money. Good luck to us all.
