What is "efficiency" in the context of an entire society? What are we working toward? What will we do when we get there?

What is "efficiency" in the context of an entire society? What are we working toward? What will we do when we get there?
- edanm 10y agoThere are lots of great answers to this. 1. Working towards greater productivity. (In case this seems pointless or otherwise unworthy, remember that greater productivity leads to, e.g., people living longer lives). 2. Workings towards more great artistic achievements. 3. Working towards greater scientific achievements, which will bring the above, + more free time, + reaching other planters, + immortality. You might not agree with all the above options, but if we, as a civilization, want to optimize towards something, there are plenty of great "somethings" to choose from. (and that are better than what most of humanity spends its time on, IMO).
