Human beings need something to do to have a fulfilling life. I do not agree at all that the ultimate goal of society is to automate everything that’s possible. I think that will be horrible overall for society.

My job is probably the least fulfilling activity in my life and I'm sure that goes for a lot of people.

By your reasoning, maybe we don't need backhoes and should just hire a bunch of guys with spoons instead?

I typically find other things fulfill my life more than work.
