The future will be difficult for people without land

If you have land you will be immune from the problems of the increasing automation of labour. But if you do not have land then because of the advancement of technology it is possible that you will not be able to find a job. (Only people with their own land will be certain to be able to make an income.) For you then the political arrangement known as Capitalism doesn't work because the robots have replaced your only commodity. The robots will destroy Capitalism for those who do not have their own land. Capitalism in the traditional sense (in contrast to Agriculturalism) requires people being able to sell their labour which means that the advancement of technology will put an end to Capitalism in this form. There will be no capitalist jobs because of the robots. Only farmers will survive in the future.

The singularity isn't a problem for people with land

For people with land the coming 'singularity' of technology is something there is no reason to fear. But for those without land the singularity will perhaps be bad news because it will put them out of work without the means to sustain themselves. The singularity will be bad news for workers who will find it increasingly hard to stay in work... because their work will now be being done by robots. For those with land there is nothing to fear in the singularity.

Farmers only will survive the automation of labour

In the future the degree of industrial automation will reach such an advanced state that it will be very difficult to find work. There will be robots who will be able to do almost every type of manual work so labour in the traditional sense will be almost obsolete. This means that it will be very difficult for people to find work which will be able to support their living expenses. The only certain way to be immune from this process is if you are the owner of land which is able to sustain you. The landed (farmers) will be able to survive the increasing automation of the workplace but everyone else will find it difficult. The robots will put most workers out of a job which means only the farmers will survive in the traditional sense... and a greater and greater proportion of the population will return to the land. Only farmers are immune from the technological automation of the workplace. Without a farm people will find it hard to survive due to the increasing automation and industrialisation of the workplace. The robots will replace all jobs which are not like owning a farm. The robots will put everyone but farmers out of a job. Only the robots (and farmers) will be employed in the future. The robots will replace everyone who is not a farmer.
