What is the solution to the current world problems? (reddthat.com)

I am asking this question, because there does not seem to be a modern logical solution.

I hear a lot of people say that socialism might solve a lot of problems, but I don't think it has any practicality.

Looking at jobs hiring trends, a lot of businesses are almost stopping their hirings, in favour of investing in automation. Which means 5-10 years down the line, "worker owned" might be closer to fiction.

AI is replacing a lot of jobs now and while the trend that new technologies create jobs, I think that jobs might come after 15-40 years.

Are humanity hopeless?

Using something like Negative Income Tax?

The reason I am asking is because I had never heard of it being applied in practice, outside experiments and pretty minor payments.

That would be great and thr most equitable option I know of, but I think UBI would have a better chance of being passed because it won't set up haves and have nots to pit against one another in political games.
