> The bad part is that we live in a society with an antiquated work-ethic, where your value is measured in capital and the number of hours you put in each week at your job. Automation isn't the problem, living is a culture incapable of valuing leisure time is what needs to change. Why should we value leisure time over work, and by proxy, acquisition of capital? These are the activities that gave us the great comforts of modern living, from electric light, to heating, to plumbing, electronic entertainment, vaccines from diseases, you name it. We're not 'done' with hard work, or technological evolution. We never will be, and that's a good thing. If you want to push for more leisure time than is currently available fine - but most people won't, because they instintively feel bad for not keeping up with others. And perhaps they should. Or at least they should admire and deeply respect those who put in the work to make our world go round. You can't shame away diligence.
