Robin, I agree with your reasoning (the economic part of it),
(and thank you for making it clearer).

My problem though is how you are going to sell it to all
those people who give those irrational answers to the polls

Would your analysis suggest the only way out (for the
population as a whole, if you want their support) is
a Moravecian "tax the robots" (or uploads) approach?
