I would dispute the awesomeness of no work at all. We're not well equipped for total leisure. To paraphrase Tal Ben-Shahar, "we're built for the climb, not the summit" ( check the book "Flow" or google "Mihaly Csikszentmihalyi" for a scientific explanation as to exactly why )

But climbs you don't get payed for can be just as (or more) rewarding/challenging.

Of course. So I would hope that the future holds this different sort of work. Not 'no work' at all.

If work was so great, the rich would keep it for themselves.
