No. I'm in fact with you on the notion that we should work (as in labor) as little as possible. I think I just disagree with you on how much "as possible" is right now, and what is the best route to that future.

I think automation should eventually lead to a place where no human is doing low- or mid-skill labor. But I have no idea what we'll do to the people who are unable to do anything else. Perhaps they'll thrive, but it also looks like they might just turn into zombies. That's what happens to many people in scandinavic countries, where people practically can just stop working and live off welfare.
