Well, if hypothetically all the work people don’t intrinsically want to do can be done by robots with no self interest, fatigue, or capacity for sadness, pain, it resentment… Then we need a new system that doesn’t require work to make a livelihood. Whether that’s a realistic scenario… Probably not in the medium term future at least. But as a hypothetical, that could make for awesome living if we could get there without screwing it up (but we will).

As difficult getting to a reasonable end game under those ideal conditions, tougher question is what about if we still need people to do crap work, but like 5% of what we need today. Who gets stuck with that? To what extent in that scenario could you approach a 2 hour work week to have more people share that burden?

Frankly I’m pessimistic that we would navigate those to a better system, but if we could pull it off and such hypotheticals happen, it could be awesome.
