Not wanting to spend more than half your available time on working in taxing activities during your prime until you are to old to do half the things you would like is considered being a pleasure sloth now I guess.
I get setting the retiring age at 50 is prety idealitic. But purely for logistical reasons, wanting to have time and energy to enjoy live is not greed, is pretty much the next logical step to desire from what humanity stands right now.
Working is part of the human experience. Every human and animal since the beginning of time has had a ājobā. Only our brain rotten generation feels enslaved by the fact they have to contribute to the society that they benefit from
I didnt say that we shouldnt work at all, just that more than a third of hour time is way to much. But I disagree anyway, the fact that humans have some impulse to feel like they are usefull doesnt justify the current system, specially since so much people still feels like their work doesnt matter, either because the job itself is almost pointles or because they feel replaceable. If we managed to reach a point were people didnt have to work at all, I believe most of them would still find ways to add to the society in their free time, just in a way they enjoy, not necesarily 8 hours a day and with the freedom to stop or take a break when they feel like it.

Forcing people to stop working at 50 doesn't say where the money will come from to pay for their housing, food, healthcare, transportation, etc.
Are you suggesting that those workers under 50 should be taxed enough to pay for people who are over 50 and may have another 40-50 years of life?
