I get what you’re saying and I sympathise, really, but I think even the 0.01% need a functioning economy to push their products to.

That being said, a lot of career paths may have closed, but new ones will arise. Like before the Industrial Revolution fabrics used to be woven by people, then came machines and factories that killed those jobs. Then we got cars and at first they were built by people, but now 90% of them is made by machines. Calculations also used to be done by hand as well, but now we have computers etc.
