>Isn't this the dream of automation, though? That all those shitty jobs are replaced by robots, and the humans are left with only the interesting, creative, ones? Hopefully. But what are the values that we hold that will allow that to come true? It's not just a matter of technology. Engineers, designers, and inventors will be the ones building that world. Do they believe their support staff (direct and indirect) deserve to benefit? How about the financiers, who often feel like they are the ones who deserve to benefit primarily, and give both the support staff and engineers short shrift? Deciding that those who work less important jobs than us do not deserve the benefit of our hard work is a race to the bottom. Whatever the case may be, we can start putting those values into action now. Especially as we see work weeks increasing for people even in an age of abundance.
