- loceng 13y agoThere is lots of work to be done, assuming you consider building family, health / taking care of people, education, etc. as things that require work.
- Tycho 13y agoSo assuming that most industrial jobs require 'smarts' eventually - - educators will need to be smart - parents will need to be smart to raise smart kids - 'care' i agree will always be in demand So you might have a society composed of an 'intellectual class' and a 'care class.' The alternative would be having a large 'leisure class' who don't do much work at all but nevertheless have everything they need.
- loceng 13y agoThose 3 sound like a good breakdown. You can have celebrity intellectuals, celebrity care takers, and celebrity good people / entertainers? :)
