Hannah Hammond explores Elon Musk's warning that rapid automation will create abundance but also widespread fear. If robots outperform humans at every task, what gives human life purpose and meaning? Hammond frames this as the central existential question we need to answer now.

The destination might be abundance, but the journey is going to be rough. Musk was very clear about this. He said, "There's going to be so much change that people are going to be scared." He described it as being careful what you wish for because you might actually get it. If you actually get all of the stuff you want, is that actually the future you want? There's a real question of meaning here. If robots can do anything and everything better than humans, what is the role of humans? Where do we find purpose? Where do we find identity?
