I’m not sure, there is something meaningful and rewarding in doing even hard work to make life better for the people around you, or creating beautiful things from the sweat of your brow. A future of forced endless leisure sort of sounds like a dystopia honestly.
- bbor 3y agoI agree, but I was trying to imply that I find the “we solve all problems and there’s no way to feel like you’re helping others” scenario to be preeetty unlikely. Much more likely is a future where we continue to sweat from our brow, but without directly tying it to subsistence, and with much more personal autonomy. I think the term “emotional labor” might be a good tool to hint at what I’m talking about. That’s just a subset of the wider “there’s more ways to be productive than a capitalist job” view
