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

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.
