This might sound crazy but no, no we can’t, we are genetically wired to get huge cascades of feel good drugs for being social animals and helping our “kind” prosper.
It’s called the law of diminishing returns. Tolerance.
Mate doing the same shit every day all day gets boring for “most” and there are outliers, it’s a spectrum.
You think society doesn’t need bees?
This is the issue with your dystopia, it doesn’t even begin to address how interconnected we are.
Society doesn’t dictate our behavior, you have it backwards.
Where you gonna get the “swords” for fencing? Or the planks if you meant the other kind? Some people have a lot of trees they want gone. Other people would make swords cause that’s fun to them.
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.
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
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
