Again with the "The best life is one of grinding labor". We should recognize the Protestant Work Ethic when it is used as a blunt instrument, and call it out. In the 1950's, Science Fiction was all about how robots were going to lift the yoke of labor from our shoulders and let us live our better lives. Now that it's happening (automation taking over almost everything) we see panicky wrongheaded articles like this one, that cannot imagine a world where not everybody has to sweat for their daily bread.
