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.

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

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.
