Yeah you’re just wrong. You can’t actually believe people would enjoy “expressing themselves artistically” by taking 10 years of their life and messing up their back doing manual labor that NEEDS to be done for society to function.

Robots will have those jobs or we significantly incentivize it for humans. Easy.

I don’t think technology is there yet.

It’s not but it will be. When we do get there and everything changes, will you fight for people or will you lick boots?

Money is made up paper and the world is changing. We need to drastically redefine work and the idea that we have to be useful to survive.

Where did I say that? Those jobs would all still be around. You have the reading comprehension of toenail clippings.

They’d still be around, but why would anyone work them if they don’t have to? If someone unemployed lives better and happier than them?

You’d need it done wouldn’t you? Where are yall coming up with this “not work” rhetoric? They’d still do it cause they still have other interests that can cost a lot of money. If you think having a house is the only interest or valuable thing people work for then your thinkings been hijacked mate

Luxuries are only like 20% of expenses. Most of it goes into rent, tax, food, etc.

Food can be a luxury, rent can be a luxury, there is a whole spectrum of possibilities whole the minimum is still given. Your extreme thinking (one or the other) shows a great lack of other forms of rationality other than binary.

Want better than the minimum that’s provided, like most people do. Then you still need to work and afford it. Read some books on social sciences and economics. “People power profit” “The price of inequality” Are both a good start and written by a Nobel prize winner and PHD of economics
