I think that, basically, we need a way for people to participate in society beyond spending their economic output.

Or else we will have masses of disenfranchised and dissatisfied people with no incentive to keep society working.

absolutely; but nobody is planning for this or even seriously considering it. to the contrary, we now have a government that is happy to take away healthcare and food stamps from its working class citizens

> we will have masses of disenfranchised and dissatisfied people

I fear this is coming

> with no incentive to keep society working

as long as the rich get serviced, they won't care much whether society is "working" or not
