While I do believe you don't want more stuff, I have a hard time believing you wouldn't want more time, be it via a chauffeur, cleaning service, butler, cook, someone to run your errands or wait in line at the doctor.
There is also improvements you might want to have like
- a faster computer
- a bigger apartment
Now I know these options are not on the table today because you can get along without them but I doubt that if the price was low enough that you'd skip them.
But if indeed none of this convinces you, let me know your profession - my bet would be you are a well-earning Zen monk :)
- majewsky 10y agoWhy would I need to invest into having more time when work is supposedly going away, this leaving me with more time automatically?
- dmichulke 10y agoI did not say "need to", I said "want to". Please comment below and say "I promise I will never want more time or more money, neither today nor in the future" if this is untrue. EDIT: I used human needs before but I'm not sure this is entirely synonymous to human wants
- Retric 10y agoI live 2.5 miles from my job, I don't see a chauffeur adding much. I already don't cook so a chef is not really that useful. I don't use most of the space in my apartment as it is, so more would be rather pointless. A faster computer, ehh possibly. I am kind of annoyed they have are not getting dramatically better all the time. But, automation is not producing new things, it's producing old things more quickly. Apple does not make a faster iPad than the one I am using so at best I would have spent less not gotten a faster machine. Which is the real issue. There is plenty of stuff I want but the problem is it does not exist.
