Maybe, you just do not want to work.
Actually, it is the most natural desire for the human as it is for animals from which we have evolved - to not want to do anything when you do not have the urge.
Animals can look very busy, but if you change their evolution-formed instincts that force them to do so, they would stop immediately and would just lie down and do nothing.
It is interesting to note that having a requirement to work may be just a drawback of the current society. When the AI eventually arrives, there may be no such requirement anymore.
- jokoon 12y agoI think you're correct, but in this case, how do I justify it in the context of today's society ? No government nor politicians will agree that unemployment has its place in civilization. Most people today consider that everyone should work, that work is good for the soul, and necessary for the well being of the economy. When you think about it, civilization is built on employment. Me, I think I might want to work if I set my own goals and if society can be okay with it. The problem is making that work get out in the world. I might just work for the same reason a neanderthal just toys with sticks, fire and stones.
