The goal of every civilization is to abolish work. I don't see the problem.

Life without work is meaningless. Over the millennia we have done nothing but work. We were made to work.

I don't know if you've experienced not working without having to worry about money, but I have and it has a unique feeling of emptiness to it.

This is not me praising 9-5 office jobs, or work from home jobs, or any other specific job. They can all be hell in and of themselves, but the idea of abolishing work is just so laughable to me.

The moment that happens, a collective neurosis will overtake humanity the likes of which has never been seen before. We can only hope work will continue to be around as long as we are around, for our own sake.

I agree. Let's have some kind of distinction between work and labor
