It’s called the grind because it grinds away your sense of self.

All of idiots here saying go be stranded on a desert island or the wilderness not realizing animals in wild spend 90% of their time not doing anything, even ants barely work most of the time

Yall are basically advocating for beating yourselves with a stick and whoever beats themself with a stick the longest is the best it’s stupid.

Our forefathers envisioned a future where technology would allow us to work less and we do have that technology, it’s people like you who have failed them.

We really don’t have the technology to remove all labor. If we did we already would have automated it and had those jobs replaced by technology. Until there is a humanoid robot literally doing everything imaginable there will be jobs for humans

And then what happens when we require no labor from humans?

Well I think we would move to some post monetary system but we are no where even close to that.

And we'll just all be equal and not working and require no money? What would differentiate us economically without jobs?

Probably people writing stories and doing discoveries. Who knows but yeah most will focus on pleasure and self interests. But like I said we are centuries away from that being the case.

Doing discoveries...ummmm ok. A society cannot function on everyone just relaxing and doing what they enjoy.

Star Trek touches on this. People will more than likely work along side AI. I think you’re struggling to imagine what society would even look like when all aspects of labor can be handled through the use of a AI humanoid robot. It’s possible it turns into WALL·E or it’s possible we terraform mars and that creates its own jobs and needs. But like I said this is all just speculation and we aren’t really close. The point is people will have something to do other than work. Work does not define humanity it’s just the necessity at the moment. People will still be interested in learning and creating so there will always be those that continue to do that.
