You know, if we could get robots to do all the work in the world, we could all go without working a day in our lives. Of course, why would we need an education at that point? So would begin the devolution of the human intellect. Idiocracy will come to pass, which near as I can tell, it will anyway.
This does raise questions about the future of humanity without darwinism to pick off the weak. Human kind will plateau from an evolutionary perspective, and eventually decline. That is, until the next extinction event wipes us off the face of the planet. My conclusion is therefore, that sometimes it is better to let nature take its course.
