We will never need that many kindergarten teachers. Ultimately we'll face near 100% unemployment, or as they called it in the 1950, utopia. Why do we resist?

You can have only so many teachers before the market is oversaturated. And I think quite a few people will prefer home schooling via online courses.

One teacher per 5 kids seems reasonable to me and will more than quadruple the kindergarten teachers. Homeschooling is a terrible idea as is, but more pedagogues will completely remove any logical reasons to even consider it.

But why do you latch to the specific job i picked? More ecologists, more physicians, more nurses, more psychologists, more people in the creative industries. More people in the "caring" industries as a whole. Workforce shifted from labor to knowledge. It will now shift to societal work.

But...why? Why make up 'societal work', to keep people busy? Is it such a bad idea that folks should be able to choose their own lives, doing their own thing?

For instance, I might never want to become a touchy-feely creative-industry person. What is there in this planned society for me?

The trouble with this discussion is, that it starts assuming everybody must have a job. I disagree; that's the old pre-abundance view of the world. We have to get past that.

It is not made up work. Ultimately our job is to maintain a healthy eco system. This includes building a society that knows better than greed and decadence. Raising children who do not perceive themselves as rulers of the world.
