Reply to comment by Caring_Cactus in How will you spend your time if/when AGI means you no longer have to work for a living (but you still have your basic needs met such as housing, food etc..)? by DreaminDemon177

A lot of people are going to seriosuly struggle with finding meaning in thir life without work. For many peopletheir work has been the biggest source of meaning in their life. Not me though, i can't wait to ditch the absolute meaningless thing people call work.

So true because of the way many of us have confused transactional societal worth with our own personal individual self-worth.

Maybe a new emotional or spiritual Renaissance will happen, a re-connection with ourselves! I can see this happening, and I think there are some theories out there that point toward such societal growth, such as social development theory.

What separates work from purpose are whether a person chooses to accept it as their own choice.
