life is not enjoyable by definition if robots could do everything for humans we'd probably play the most realistic VR video games while high with all our time

suffering and scarcity is actually a requirement for enjoyment imo
- TeMPOraL 7y agoYour comment makes me want to finally sit down and read Iain Banks. Because apparently they solved that in the fictional, post-scarcity world of the Culture. I don't believe that suffering is a requirement for enjoyment. Some level of discomfort when you're not having fun, yes - something that pushes you to descent the gradient. An occasional pain even, maybe. But not suffering.
- chosenbreed37 7y agoYou make a valid point. However I think that a significant section of the population would dedicate their time to other things. Even if robots could do those things better. E.g. music, art, philosophy, wood carving, knitting, gardening, etc
