Relentless... I see that you are really into this subject of people no longer needing to work and what the result will be.
My feeling is that people NEED to work. I know I sure do.
I was talking to Claudia Marie the other day and said: "What would we do if we went into the Casino and won the MegaBucks jackpot?"
Neither of us could contemplate just doing nothing. We both kept coming up with ideas to start new businesses and work at different things.
Neither of us even thought twice about just playing golf, lying on the beach, or going back to college and studying science (lol).
People BECOME what they do. We all gain our identity from what we do for a living.
Sure, elitist scholars can theorize all day long. But at the end of the day, the majority of people want to WORK. That's why it's such a hot button topic when we speak of welfare and redistribution of wealth.
IF the "new society" that you envision ever comes into existence, I don't believe it will be in our lifetimes or our children or grandchildren's lifetimes.
People simply NEED a function in life. And it ain't sitting around dreaming and/or thinking about things that could help humanity.
People need to WORK.
You know what I do for a living. I've been an affiliate since the mid 1990's. I've owned a content company, been involved with a hosting company,owned a domain portfolio company, owned some business zoned real estate, update and work on all my own websites, shoot-write-direct-edit-upload-update CM's site.
And I get a lot of satisfaction out of all that.
But I get even more satisfaction by going out and working on my car. Or mowing the lawn, Or working on my guitars and playing a gig. You know...getting my hands dirty.
It's just something us humans need psychologically to be healthy.
