I don't think the goal is indolence. The goal is freedom. We want a post-need society propped up by automation. That doesn't mean that we should spend our reclaimed time idling, though, but certainly we could.

This is how I describe financial freedom. It’s not a particular number, it’s the freedom from thinking about money.

And which number gets you there depends on your lifestyle.

And taking a job without any consideration of pay.
