We should be building a society where the concept of retiring is alien because the entire point of living isn't to work.
RIGHT??????
That is almost impossible. Even if we had machines and robots, there will always be the necessity for people to work
I didn't say nobody would have to work. I said that working shouldn't be the point of life. This mentality that we are all stuck in should not be the defacto modus operandi of our society. What is the purpose of all of this if not to set us free from the mundane? What is the point of any of this if it is not to square the circle? Might as well have never climbed down from the trees if we are not reaching for infinity.
There are many people for who working isn't the meaning of life.
And I said that it is almost impossible because there will always work to be done
No shit, but at one point we are gonna have to stop extorting each other to work. At some point our society is going to have to actually care for us. So we can stop producing people who seek money and start producing people who advance our species.
Do you mean this as in robots cannot do it all? Because I'm pretty sure they soon will be able to. Or do you mean it in that humans need challenges to make their lives feel complete? Because I would agree with that.
I meant the first one. Someone will have to create/update/maintain robots.
For awhile they will. But still, that would mean one engineer could handle several restaurants, for example. We won't have nearly enough jobs for all the people, unless we invent some busy work. Maybe that's what pumping gas jobs in certain states always has been though 🤔.
But the point of living is simply to survive and procreate. There's no innate requirement of "living" to be not working... we worked hard for thousands of years just killing things to eat.
It is. We are chasing an egregore all the while destroying our planet. We need a mentality change, one that realizes we never removed ourselves from the same rat race for survival the rest of the life on this planet is in. We act like we are above our ecosystems, we are not. If our main focus was something else besides money, we might make it. But if we are only chasing the dragon, we will follow it to our deaths.
