I think a robot/automation revolution would allow us one day to not have to work, but I think that hope faces more political and socioeconomic obstacles than practical ones.
Or in other words, someone will try to profit from such a revolution, and probably to the detriment of the rest of society. In some ways, this is already happening.
- smoyer 15y agoWho would want a life without some work? I think it's more that we don't get to work on the things that are meaningful to us. Work can be one of life's adventures too! BTW: I've met Baristas that are exactly where they want to be ... you can tell from their great smiles, and their propensity to call you by name and remember your regular order after only a couple visits.
- TeMPOraL 15y agoYes, that's exactly what I'm thinking about - 'working on the things meaningful to us' as opposed to 'working on whatever someone will feed us for doing'. AD your BTW: I also know some Baristas who are like the ones you mentioned :).
