Civil unrest that gets expressed via stable democratic institutions is just fine. My concern is wars and violent revolutions, which (hopefully) are on their way out. I dream of a day when wage labor is looked back on as almost as oppressive and horrible as chattel slavery. We're a long way from that, though. The technology is almost here, but the political will is not. The trick, then, is fulfillment. How do we give our lives meaning, if not through our labor? And how do we fight the brutal addictions of social media and passive consumption in order to achieve individual meaning? I fear a future where we don't have to work, but rather spend all our time sharing memes about how lonely and depressed we are.
