It's eminently possible, if not likely, that the way the future will actually unfold differs from our current predictions (on HN, or elsewhere).
However, you work with what you've got. If our best model for the future involves the progressive automation of all human labour - it makes sense to at least theorize (if not plan) for that eventuality.
If the situation turns out to not be dire - great - but you plan for the worst, as the axiom goes.
