Comment on What would happen if all of humanity don't need to work any more ?
MisterNeon@lemmy.world 7 months agoI put in labor for food. That’s a job. You’re describing a farmer. This is how the majority of humanity has spent the majority of its time until the industrial revolution. If you’re not doing your job farming then you’re doing your job hunting and/or gathering. These are all jobs humans have been doing before we evolved into homo sapiens.

I’m not saying if you help in the community garden you have to spend all your time being a farmer. The beauty of not being forced to have a job is you are free to do what you want. And if you want to spend that free time gardening, awesome. Maybe you want to spend free time helping out people in another way, which is fine. Thar free time is free to do whatever.
The food situation in this hypothetical situation is covered for everyone. The original question was what happens if nobody has to work anymore. That includes you food being covered. So everyone would have there basic nutritional needs met everyday. But after your tired of eating basic foods, you can go down to the community garden and help grow fresh food for all to eat.
We have a chance to evolve to a species that doesn’t need to hunt or gather out of necessity, but we should still try to let those skills help us thrive
