What will Humans do when we don’t need each other to do anything?

No one can say with certainty, of course, but I remember reading in a dusty old book once that "Idle hands are the Devil's playground." I'm sure nothing good will come of it.

Actually increased productivity and increased leisure time tends to lead to the greatest technological advances. Hunter gatherers couldn't produce a secure rooted society because they would wipe out all the food in the area where they were. Once someone figured out farming they had a means of being secure and having a surplus. That gave them time for other endevours like thinking about how to move water to where they needed it, art, philosophy, and science.

Sure there is always a danger of non productive idling but in free market societies, time wasting doesn't really take off as a societal activity.
