Maybe that becomes possible at some point? A long time ago we needed 7 days a week to farm or hunt enough food to survive. With technological advancements we may be at a point where we need near 0 work days to feed everyone and create a comfortable life.
Then doing work isn't needed to survive anymore but instead only because you want to achieve something. That could be many different things for many people.

Who handles the power generation? Who maintains the roads? Who builds, and who flies, the airplanes in case people would like to travel? And that's just the tip of the iceberg. A lot of work goes into a functioning society.
- Handytinge 5y agoThat's true. But a hundred years ago, different questions were there. We've largely automated and optimised many jobs into minimal work or non existance across industrial production, agriculture, all sorts of areas. There's no reason not to think we don't keep automating to solve the problems you've mentioned.
