>But if 75% of people are unemployed who will buy those products ?

Honestly I'm not sure, the whole Robotization issue seems to be an evolutionary trap of sorts. If we make it so that robots substitutes 3/4 of the population's workforce then it doesn't make much sense to even have 3/4 of the population exist after the fact (why waste the resources at that point?). But if we reduce 3/4 of the entire population then we will find ourselves in a genetic bottleneck that could put us in danger by some random disease or natural disaster to wreak havoc on the remaining 1/4 of the population.

I guess we could just into singularity with the robots but then we will stop being humans and become something else with no real guarantee that we will survive the on coming generations. I mean just imagine it, we become man-machine hybrids with all of the advantages of being a man and a machine but with also all the disadvantages like organic and digital viruses, need for organic food and electrical consumption and the ever increasing threat of computer hacking.

>75% of people will need to learn how to program of they don't want to be unemployed shits

That will never happen because you then make programming the equivalent of a service job like food or retail. No one will want to pay anyone good money to do the job since everyone can do it.

Op I think we might be going full circle here, where once we utilized slaves for intensive physical labor we may in fact have something similar coming soon where we have slaves for intensive mental labor.

The likelihood is zero because there's no economic infrastructure built yet to sufficiently handle something like that.

Ever wonder why disease seems to run so rampant in africa? No it's not because they're less intelligent, It's because they lack an economic infrastructure that can handle first world healthcare.

Without some kind of infrastructure to serve as a foundation for growth and regulation any serious endeavor to a particular goal becomes extremely faulty or prone to constant failure.
