Then we’d be free to do the jobs we want to do, not what has to be done or what has a high work to reward ratio

Then the question arises if we are capable of choosing jobs good for us.

Choosing a good book over Lemmy. Choosing life over dreams. Choosing sport over narcotics.

Of course. Because we’re social creatures, that’s our natural state

Most of humanity’s problems exist not because they’re inherent, it’s because for 1000 generations we’ve been building up self-reinforcing social structures that have entered the end stage. Where everything is squeezed for profit and the real value of it is drained away

We like to do things together. We’re wired for it. With unlimited time and resources, why would we not live near and visit our favorite people? Why would we not explore the world around us? Why would we not work to make life nicer? Why would we not reach out to others who fall through the cracks and find themselves isolated?

  That’s how evolution works, mathematically. What’s more likely to survive and give offspring, survives and gives offspring.
  
  And unless unlimited time and resources become firm reality, that’s how it will work further.
  
  Anyway, that’s so galaxy-scale that I don’t want to think about it.

    Then don’t get Galaxy scale with it, I wasn’t. This has nothing to do with evolution, that’s a myth of capitalism. Capitalism developed organically, not naturally… There’s a huge difference
    
    Throw 50 people into an empty resort for a week with nothing to do. What happens? They play games, they cook together, they go on hikes together, they start projects, they separate and return to the group as needed
    
    This isn’t a hypothetical. Have you never experienced the natural human state? No multi day reunions or weddings? Or living on campus at University? Just any situation where money isn’t really involved and everyone is around with lots of free time
