It's being deliberately gatekept from us by the wealthy, and by those who believe that no one should be allowed to have anything they haven't "earned".
The tragic thing is, to the extent that you're right, people will probably mostly kill other people who have nothing, rather than turning their anger and violence where it truly deserves to go: the rich bastards who want to own everything and prevent the rest of us from having anything.

Are you fucking insane? If nobody had to earn anything and everyone had the same amount as everyone else, that's communism; you have succinctly described communism. It is of course one of the most famously productive economic systems ever devised, and one historically revered in the USA where of course we don't place any value on individualism or independence. "Take the handout you're given and be happy," is the official motto of the US, right comrade?
And of course never led to any wars! Everyone in the world just got along and was happy-go-lucky.
There isn't though. Our infrastructure cannot sustain the AI race. Food supplies are weakening. An ever increasing population is being encouraged by billionaires.
There could be! But there currently is not. Nor is there any plan for that to change.
