Life without work is meaningless. Over the millennia we have done nothing but work. We were made to work. I don't know if you've experienced not working without having to worry about money, but I have and it has a unique feeling of emptiness to it. This is not me praising 9-5 office jobs, or work from home jobs, or any other specific job. They can all be hell in and of themselves, but the idea of abolishing work is just so laughable to me. The moment that happens, a collective neurosis will overtake humanity the likes of which has never been seen before. We can only hope work will continue to be around as long as we are around, for our own sake. | ||

I don't buy it. The cats and dogs seems to be pretty happy and they rarely work apart from the biological stuff that we do like growing body and repair cells and eating and all. | ||

I think it is wrong to say that life without work is meaningless. The problem is what good enough yesterday is expected today and won't be enough tomorrow. Not being able to do whatever you want all the time acts as a break on this process. The moment work is abolished would be a wonderful moment. A month later though the biggest topic would be how to get a side hustle or a job. | ||

Yes, this is why people dread retirement. Society should implement some sort of Logan's Run style carrousel for the sad, miserable people that have retired and no longer get to have the pleasure of working. | ||

I agree. Let's have some kind of distinction between work and labor |
