Yes. For me, if the over-providing society allowed me to live on a small plot of land where I could grow a garden, raise some chickens and do some homesteading, I would be thrilled. Now, I do not think I would be a good farmer. So, I could not provide for myself. I would be playing around on my 5 acres or so. And the all-providing, automated society would keep me alive by periodic infusions of food or a new tractor (to replace the one I stupidly broke).
For me, that would be a nice human existence. Is it likely? No. Would it be for everyone? No. Plenty of people would be horrified by a life getting their fingernails dirty (just for fun).
But I see a future in which 300 million people have nothing to do, and if we don’t dream up some scenario where they can occupy their time, I think it will all explode.
Yep!
