In a hypothetical world where disease was cured, does that mean that someone who enjoys nursing can never be satisfied again? There are other things that one could do that satisfy the same needs.

My only point here is that the elimination of routine jobs with only the creative ones being left, is no pathway to human happiness. Having to earn on one's own creativity can be as hellish as the most mind-numbingly dull routine work. Besides, a world where one's social status entirely depends on the ability to monetize one's creativity is a winner-takes-it-all society to much greater degree than the one we're currently living in.

"Design your life" - create a life experience that enables you as a person. That comes in many forms.

That sounds great with something like UBI in place.

But in a world where you constantly have to find a market for your "uniqueness" to keep a roof over your head, I doubt very much most people would thrive. Most creative pursuits are such that they benefit the creator only, or the nearest and the dearest of the creator.

How do you start to "design your life", by reading this article? ...It is good stuff ~ even the relevant engagement that follows. It is so blatantly obvious you love blogging don't you Taraz?
