Work is what gives life meaning for many people. You can't just say we'll automate most productive tasks then expect everyone to be mozart or do yoga all day or something. That's not a future I want.
- ryukafalz 6y agoThere’s plenty to do even if you’re not a talented musician: volunteering for a good cause, inventing, crafting... I strongly suspect that if the most tedious jobs were automated away, so long as people had their needs met, they’d find something much more meaningful than the work they were doing before. I know I sure would! “So long as they have their needs met” is a big assumption, though, and one that wouldn’t hold up in our current society.
