You'd prefer to live in a world where labor is free and we don't need to work for anything? I like the current world better.

How can you say that without experiencing the other world? If people didn’t need to work to live the creativity unleashed would be insane.

No. Plenty of people are in that boat - look at youth unemployment in many countries - or housewives. And yet somehow workers seem to do the most creative work.

This is so off-topic to corals, but I feel I need to address your two comments - one you are saying housewives don't do any labour? My wife isn't currently in paid employment but likely puts in more hours per day supporting our family in a multitude of different ways, thank I do at work/commuting. Despite this unseen labour, I know many housewives who do find time for creativity a multitude of different ways.

Re unemployment - back when basic necessities were met, the KLF wrote a book about about going on the dole and unleashing your creativity: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Manual

No, we'd prefer a world in which we don't destroy the environment for the sole purpose of creating more unneeded and largely useless widgets.

> I like the current world better.

Think about that in the next years when you finally realise how screwed we are.
