Well the majority of the world wouldn't be able to live in the technological society. We would have to change our education system, among other things. The fact that massive wealth will be created through automation means that those that "produce" will continually become infinitely smaller. Obviously other industries will develop from these new technologies, and we are at least 2 generations away from seeing the world you describe. But the negative income tax, at least in theory, is an easier way of dealing with bureaucracy than the displacement of peoples.

why?

we're doing a good job of supplying tech to the world with our current one. plus with a less decentralized federal government, we'll have a more free market educational system and that will adapt much more quickly

it will just "leave out" the people who can't participate in the modern economy anyway

how? it doesn't require a bureaucracy for people to leave. are you implying that, for a current example, honduras has a complex bureaucratic regime for emigration currently? of course not. they probably spend $0 on it
