All of those things you just descibed... are called jobs.

What kind of absurd future are you pushing? You wanna watch anime and sink into your couch and eat caramel popcorn and cash a paycheck? Supporting people who are disabled or single parents is one thing....moving towards a "post-work state" is fucking crazy and doesnt even merit further comment.
So the goal of society is just work forever? Thats stupid, there won't be enough jobs for everyone in the future, its asinine to say otherwise. Should we aspire to serfdom again instead?

I mean I thought there was more of a separation in the actual definitions. Then I looked it up and was like. Hmmm look at that. All the right been telling me Europe socialist for so long I believed them!

But... why not? The entire point of work is to survive. If we didn't have to work to survive and instead wanted to pursue things outside of labor, why is that so terrible?


I'd love to pursue working on being an architect or falconer if money wasn't a factor, my life situation won't allow me to do that unless I become fairly well off. Even then, I'd probably have to decrease my standard of living because those jobs don't pay well on average. You have jobs that pursue arts/research but those are so bogged down by research grants and the politics of securing more funding that it becomes a game of "who can secure more money" instead of actually trying to discover/create new shit

Yeah I realize that this post-work future won't happen in my lifetime, but isn't the conversation worth having? We probably will have automated garbage trucks, janitors, secretaries, drivers, cooks, and delivery people within our lifetime.

You're just ready to be plugged into the matrix, eh? I'll bet you'll enjoy your vitamin paste.
Will the falcon still have to hunt in a post-work future, or are the animals not achieving singularity when we do?

Sounds like hot garbage, have fun. I prefer living in meatspace.
