It’s why I speculated different scenarios, we have to prepare for things to go various directions.
There’s a chance that possibilities I can’t imagine pop up. I suspect my imagination would have been too limited to see modern jobs if I lived in pre industrial times.
It’s possible we ultimately run out of new stuff to do. Hopefully we can find a path to increase leisure rather than pointlessly keep people doing tedious work that we could automate because we couldn’t think of a better system. There’s tough issues around how to do it at all, and tougher, how to do it fairly.
If we get to such a future, I’d want to see reduction in hours worked per person, or some decoupling of livelihood from working. Way easier said than done though…
